The m3u file can be stored anywhere. It doesn't have to be served by
icecast. It could be served by your radio station's website.

All it needs is to contain is a single line like:

https://icecast.example.com:8443/stream.mp3

(And yes, the M3U links from the Icecast status page are to "http" not
"https" even if you're looking at the status page via https.)
