Running on a Server

[patrick.de-bruyn]

it is possible to run the RadioBOSS on a Windows or Linux server for 24 hours and 7 days a week?

 

[djsoft]

You can run it on Windows server the same way as you run it on regular PC.

I would like to install RadioBoss on a VPS server to run my webradio.
What should I do and what do I need on the server other than Windows ?

 

[djsoft]

The specs must meet RadioBOSS system requirements.

The specs must meet RadioBOSS system requirements.

Can you give me the RadioBOSS specs please?

 

[djsoft]

Please see this page (at the bottom): https://www.djsoft.net/enu/description_radioboss.htm

This is the bare minimum. If you have streaming, DSP, large music library that needs processing (e.g. Normalization) it will need more computing power.

 

[Gilbert75]

Thks Dmitry, sorry what is DSP ?

 

[djsoft]

It's any sound processing - the integrated Equalizer/Compressor, or any plugins (e.g. VST) that you add.

 

[Gilbert75]

Thks for your reply !

I can run RadioBOSS on a VPS server with Icecast installed without a sound card ?

 

[djsoft]

Yes, RadioBOSS does not require a sound card to operate. You only need to ensure the VPS has enough computing power so it runs smoothly.

What do you think about this VPS server setup

CPU : Intel® Xeon® E5-2620 Processor
vCPU : 2
RAM : 3 Go + 3 Go
Hard disk space : 100 Go
SSD : Samsung 840 PRO
1Gbits network connection
Unlimited bandwidth
Windows 2008R2 SP1

 

[djsoft]

It should work. But if you plan to use StereoTool or similar plugins, you'll probably need more power.

 

[Gilbert75]

Let me know if this VPS configuration is better with Stereo Tool plugin :

CPU : 2x Intel® Xeon® E5‑2620
vCPU : 4
RAM : 6 GB + 6 GB
Hard disk space : 200 GB
SSD : Samsung 840 PRO
Network connection : 1Gbits
Unlimited bandwidth
Windows 2008R2 SP1 or Windows 2012

 

[djsoft]

You have to try it. CPU usage of StereoTool depends on what features you enable there.
