Setting up SSL on Centova and Shoutcast V2

2 min read

How to install and set up free SSL in centovacast easily?

 

Note:  You must be using Centova Cast v3.2.6 or greater to use letsencrypt.org with Centova Cast.

 

Centova Cast fully supports SSL certificates from letsencrypt.org, and can automatically generate and renew such certificates once configured to do so.

 

If no other web server is running on the same server as Centova Cast, you can configure Centova Cast to listen on ports 80 and 443, enable SSL, configure your server for letsencrypt.org, and enable the SSL/TLS stream proxy all in a single step by running:

 

/usr/local/centovacast/sbin/set_secure --fqdn=radio.example.com --email=admin@radio.example.com

 

Replace radio.example.com with the fully-qualified domain name that you want to use with Centova Cast, and replace admin@radio.example.com with the email address that you want to use to register with letsencrypt.org.

 

In most cases, this is all you need to do; your server will now be available over SSL/TLS (https://) and your letsencrypt.org certificate will be renewed automatically by Centova Cast as needed.
