[Icecast] Use endpoint to activate fallback-override

[Isaac Ezeh]

Hi Philip,

Thank you so much for your swift response.
I am creating the issue on GitLab as we speak.

I also have another very pertinent issue.

I want to serve my icecast server over https, but I am
unfortunately finding it super difficult.
I have tried to scrape the internet for solutions, all to no avail.
I was able to set up https at a point but the challenge I then face is that
when I start streaming into a mountpoint, it automatically stops after
40secs for all streams.
I also want to note that I am using LetsEncrypt for my https and also using
NGINX for the reverse proxy so that I can setup a custom domain rather than
a bare IP-Address

Kindly find below the configuration of my NGINX server block


server {

        listen 80;


        server_name stream.mydomain.com www.stream.mydomain.com;


        location / {

                proxy_pass http://localhost:8000;

        }


        location ~ \.php$ {

                include snippets/fastcgi-php.conf;

                fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php/php7.0-fpm.sock;

        }


        location ~ /\.ht {

                deny all;

        }


    listen 443 ssl; # managed by Certbot

    ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/
www.stream.mydomain.com/fullchain.pem; # managed by Certbot

    ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/
www.stream.mydomain.com/privkey.pem; # managed by Certbot

    include /etc/letsencrypt/options-ssl-nginx.conf; # managed by Certbot

    ssl_dhparam /etc/letsencrypt/ssl-dhparams.pem; # managed by Certbot



}


P.S I did not make any change to my icecast.xml file with respect to ssl,
just the default configuration it takes to set up an icecast server. This
configuration works pretty well when I disable *NGINX* and *ufw*, but the
issue described above crops up when I want to serve icecast over https (i.e
enable NGINX and ufw).
