I'm not sure if this is possible, so I thought I'd ask here before wasting too much time.
I am the Music Content Manager for a South African internet/satellite radio station that caters to the elderly. I have an old(ish) desktop that I've turned to a FreeBSD file server, but it sits idle most of the time (I really just use it once or twice a day for backups). What I'd like to do is this:
Access our radio station, and restream it through my wifi router so that anyone connected to my router can listen to us without having to pay data fees.
There won't be too many listeners: maybe 3 or 4 at a time. The range of my router is limited.... definitely less that 50 metres, and I live on a farm so neighbours and passers-by will not connect.
So I'd like a simple method of accessing https://rt1485.out.airtime.pro/rt1485_a and restreaming it through my local wifi's ip address 192.168.y.z so that all anyone has to do is type http://192.168.y.z into a browser or music player on their phones or laptops and listen to us.
Is this possible? and is it practical? By which I mean, simple enough that it's worth the time and effort it will take to do it? I've spent a fair bit of time googling this, but the standard answers seem to involve OBS studio which won't run due to my old video card, I don't have a desktop environment installed, and my FreeBSD runs headless anyway: I just ssh into it every night to shut it down, and once a week to check for updates.
I'm running FreeBSD 14.3 Thank you.
