Updated W2019 Server Application Host and Linux Fedora Relay Host

I started with the update of the W2019 Datacenter server I run the Sam Broadcasting software on and has my MySQL database that it utilizes on it and then started patches and security updates of my Fedoras 34 system that handles the relays of ShoutCast and IceCast. I have already updated my Fedora web server earlier in the week along with my WordPress to the latest versions along with the themes and plugins.

Menagerie of Saturday Sounds

Times are changing this late fall this weekend for daylight savings and going to unleash a menagerie of sounds upon you.

Going to get some dance music with ABBA, Beyoncé and Shakira, old school hip-hop like Doug E Fresh and the Get Fresh Crew, TLC. I will even get mellow with Silk Sonic, Kandace Springs, and others, throw in classic rock with the Eagles and others, then you have that musical menagerie with all eras and multiple musical genres represented.

Music Relay Streams Available to Connect After Update

I’m back up and streaming it took a little longer as I had to boot up off an old kernel due to some issues I will investigate later. Let’s see how more memory allocated to the music relay streams for IceCast and ShoutCast work for performance and quality.

Updating Memory on Relay Streaming Server\VM

I am increasing the memory on my relay server on my XCP-Ng hypervisor I use to stream the music, and this will require a reboot. While the system reboots no one will be able to connect with the music streams though the songs will continue playing and the website will not go down. The increased memory will lessen swapping of resources to hard drive and increase performance.
Since I’m rebooting for memory update, I decided to install some OS patches as well. Music stream connections will be back up shortly.
