Radio

Radio is a headless, sovereign music server. It serves private audio archives over local network streams.

I wanted to listen to my own music library without relying on commercial streaming platforms. So I built a headless player node that streams directly to local devices.

Headless Architecture

The system is designed to run on a Raspberry Pi. It mounts a local exFAT storage volume containing high-quality audio files.

It exposes a lightweight web interface and API endpoints for control. Devices on the local network can connect and control playback.

Key Capabilities

• Sovereign Streaming: Music is streamed over the local network without external cloud dependencies.
• Headless Operation: Runs entirely via command line or web controller on a low-power Pi.
• exFAT Mounts: Direct read access to external hard drives without complex server configuration.
• Zero Subscriptions: A one-time setup that keeps your audio library yours forever.

You can download the setup scripts to configure your own Raspberry Pi audio node.
