GoFM

GoFM is a cross-platform, real-time audio streaming server written in Go. It streams MP3 files from a directory over HTTP and synchronizes playback across multiple clients, so listeners share a broadcast rather than starting separate tracks.

Platform and uses

• Deployment: a self-hosted, cross-platform server, with Docker deployment documented in the repository.
• Audio source: MP3 files in a directory you specify.
• Uses: broadcasting a music collection to multiple listeners with synchronized playback.
• License: MIT.

Main features

• Stream MP3 files over HTTP from a local directory.
• Synchronize playback across connected clients.
• Enable random playback with a command-line option.
• Configure the audio directory, host address, port, and station name.
• Deploy from a release download or build a Docker image using the repository's instructions.

Get started

Open the official GoFM repository for release downloads and setup instructions.

Download a release for your platform, then start the server with the -d option pointing to your MP3 directory. The default port is 8090; -p changes it, and -r enables random playback. The README also documents Docker deployment and additional options.
