Installing Icecast 2 Media Streaming Server Ubuntu 18.04

The following guide describes the installation Icecast 2 Streaming Media Server on Ubuntu System.

Maybe let's start with what is Icecast?
Icecast allows to establish and operate their own Internet radio. Can transmit a signal formats Opus, Ogg Vorbis, Ogg Theora, Ogg FLAC, Ogg Speex, WebM, MP3, AAC i Ogg MIDI. It is distributed under the GNU GPL.

Icecast is more robust with respect to software SHOUTcast. One process can for example transmit multiple streams through a single port (SHOUTcast needs two adjacent open ports for proper operation and transmission of one stream), each stream may require authentication, the server can also move customers to a different stream in the absence of signal. Nevertheless, both programs are partially compatible with each other (Icecast 2 can work with tools designed for SHOUTcast Server).

Let's get to its installation.

At the beginning we make updates to packages and repositories:
