Does playing through the API, for example, via Dsub, not expose the real IP?
I'm using the nginx config from the installation. I've also tried it via docker as well, but I get the same results there.

Ask HN: Flac/MP3 listeners: How do you store/play your music?
I'm not sure if this would fit all your needs aside from running on Linux but Ampache [1][2] has been around for a very long time and has the ability to mesh with other instances. It started as a small project run by some students at OSU and evolved over time.

AzuraCast: A Simple, Self-Hosted Web Radio Management Suite
I'm using icecast2 for that. The only downsides are that it does only mp3s and sometimes it goes mute after a track ends. A short silent transition track should workaround the latter problem but I never managed to make it work. I configured a hotkey to restart VLC on my laptop instead.
