laravel-zipstream VS AzuraCast

To learn more about this package just visit the documentation here.

For downloading I tried this https://github.com/maennchen/ZipStream-PHP and later tried this as well https://github.com/stechstudio/laravel-zipstream but the download "hangs" until all photos are processed (until the loop is done) and only at the end it shows the save dialog. Then when you save it, it's already downloaded, because it downloaded it during that "hang" period. The problem is it looks like a "delay" when user clicks download button. When working with small amount of data that's tolerant, but when I want to download, for example, a few GB, it still downloads it but it's doing it in the background. When I open network tab I see the request is pending and the size column is growing (cause it's downloading files) and then after couple of minutes (it depends on your download speed) it shows a save dialog.

I don't have any experience with it, but it looks like AzuraCast does what you want.

I've used AzureCast - https://www.azuracast.com/ - super simple to stand up and run - you can run multiple radio stations with it.

It’s also worth looking into RadioDj or Azuracast for solid, less complex alternatives. I might be switching back to RadioDj since it’s a tad bit easier to queue up songs.

Okay yeah so this is all wrong. I'm using this as reference for an example docker compose file.

Take a look at AzuraCast. This seems very suited to your need

Azuracast perhaps?

Azuracast. Not quite as powerful but much easier to run. Also Linux, although you can tinker to get it running under Windows. It would run well in a cloud host like Linode or Digital Ocean, which might mean you don’t need a relay service like Alon depending on how many listeners you have. You can also host it at home of course.
