[Icecast] Configure Ubuntu Server 16.04 for icecast2

[Robert Jeffares]

Bonjour,

*Upload: 282.95 Mbit/s*

is going to choke at about 5 listeners *
*

You need a streaming server provider.

https://shoutca.st/

is an example but there are many.

Don't buy 5k listeners buy 100 and see how it goes.

*regards*

*Robert*
