Another Update Windows Music Server

I’m still running on my backup server for music stream relays and I need to update the Windows 2019 Datacenter OS with security updates.

I stepped away from doing the updates of the Fedora Linux relay servers for a few hours since its running so good on the backup system. The relay music server I took from Fedora 34 to Fedora 35 and now I’m taking it to the latest Fedora version, Fedora 38. The update system of Fedora Linux has turned out to be very reliable the last several years.

I have a backup Windows Music server but the system reboots quickly enough I just prefer to wait for the main music server to come back up. That takes less time after simple OS security updates than to sync the second server and start where I left off.

So about 15 minutes from this post time and date I will be rebooting the music server and the stream will be down for 5-10 minutes. The music relay server will be running still on the backup Linux Fedora 38 server with no music.

I am updating music relay server up several versions of OS from Fedora 34 to Fedora 38 and moving the streams over to a backup VM\server already at Fedora 38. I have to make sure certificates are in place for SSL change streams from music server to this server and some items in the router and get stunnel sync’d.

Let’s see how smooth this goes. The update will be multi-stage update I have performed on the backup and other servers already.

A few updates where due in the music stream so decided to update the Windows 2019 data center OS that hosts the music application Sam Broadcaster and the music stream relay OS on Linux Fedora that hosts IceCast and ShoutCast streams with the stunnel as well.

So far everything looks good and will be up in about 15 minutes if not sooner from the time of this post.

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.

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.
