[Icecast] Question about replacing the web interface with an audio stream

[Jordan Verner]

Okay, but you’d have to be able/willing to employ a dedicated IP to that, plus run Icecast as root.
What are the negative technical implications of running icecast on port 8000 (suitable for most users) and then running a reverse proxy to accommodate public wifi with port restrictions?
