Hi, can I somehow add CORS to my Azura Cast Radio app? like that: Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *,

I found that function in the radio itself, but unfortunatly it didnt solved my problem that a website doesnt allow this radio anymore…

Hi there,

I don’t think that there is a good way to do that at the moment, as if you ever need to upgrade your instance using the self-update script that AzureCast provides at /var/azuracast/docker.sh all of your changes will be lost.

What I could suggest is requesting this as a feature, so that some of those Nginx changes could be configurable via the docker-compose yaml file for example.

As the image itself is supported by AzureCast, what you could do is post this as a feature request on the official repo here:

https://github.com/AzuraCast/AzuraCast

Alternatively, if you still want to make the change, you might be able to change the Nginx config directly:

Get the container ID:

docker ps -a | awk '{print $1}'

Access the container:

docker exec -i -t CONTAINER_ID bash

And then update the Nginx config at /etc/nginx/sites-available/default and add add_header Access-Control-Allow-Origin "*"; within the server { .. } block.

After that you would need to restart the container as well.

I would recommend taking a backup before making those changes!

Best,

Bobby
