AzuraCast station media and env config paths on Linux for self-hosted radio station hosting. Plus migration notes.
Last updated
AzuraCast splits stations across Docker volumes. Media uploads live per station in volumes like azuracast_station-media. The database beside them tracks playlists and schedules.
Settings come from a .env file with release channel and passwords. The installer generates it per host. Back up media volumes with the env file and database dumps. Media without the database loses station context. AutoDJ fills dead air. Requests let listeners vote. Podcasts host episodes too. Relays rebroadcast remote streams.
Where AzuraCast stores this, by platform
azuracast_station-media (media volume)
Per station music and podcast files. Inspect for the host mountpoint since compose prefixes vary. Copy with AzuraCast stopped.
/var/azuracast/.env
Release channel and passwords for the stack. Keep a copy off the server. Rebuilding with fresh secrets breaks services.
