ahoy all,
i have been doing some research into free/libre software and/or services
for music distribution. my preferences are a *customizable* static
HTML+CSS+JavaScript site (e.g. like the current crop of static site
generators https://staticsitegenerators.net ) that i can host myself
which allows streaming and free/libre downloads of releases/tracks.
basically i am looking for a simple static site generator that is
album/track/audio aware, though i am open to any solutions available.
For streaming audio there are several open source solutions
available.Icecast works very well for radio streeam. On the frontend I
have been using jplayer for a while but have recently started using pure
html5 for some smaller files.
For an example of several streaming solutions combined into a single
website you can visit this url:
http://madprof.channellinux.com/
The site is written with html5 and jquery for the front end and a small
amount of php for the backend.
If you are able to roll your own you could copy the jquery and repurpose
it for your own system.
You will need a virtual machine to run the icecast stream but you can get
them for less than E5/month these days from various hosting providers so
that should not break the bank.

my current list is small and all save one require a
full-blown CMS+DB
install:
* Pushtape http://pushtape.com
- currently only Drupal based
* CASH Music platform http://cashmusic.org
- PHP+DB requirement for self hosting
- also available as a free/beer service hosted by CASH Music with
embeddable widgets
- currently no streaming support
* WordPress
- there are some freemium plugins for hosting a music store, etc. but
again i am trying to avoid the setup+maintenance of a full CMS
* indieTorrent https://indietorrent.org
- online only service
- very interesting/cool manifesto https://indietorrent.org/docs/manifesto/
- not lots of activity but still kicking
https://indietorrent.org/4rum/viewtopic.php?f=1&p=39#p39
- not specifically for self hosting but as it is open source it could be
done
others (ReverbNation, Jamendo, Magnatune, Bandcamp, Bandpage, thesixtyone,
etc) are all either non-libre, non-self hosting, etc.
if anyone has any items to add to this list, experience with a service,
homemade solutions, etc. i would appreciate them sharing it. i figure
since we all go through various amounts of trouble to follow our
principles/passions/whatever by using free/libre tools when making music,
sharing it would be no different.
thanks, w
