[Icecast] running an icecast server

[Kurt]

Having run IceCast for about 5 years, starting with Windows, then moving 
to Linux, the following is current
1. Centos 7. Apache, IceCast port 8000
The only reason I run 8000 is cause 8000 gets less hits to break in then 
80, Never ran SSH, so cant answer question on 443
