There are lots of free, open source streaming audio server solutions that you could install on a DigitalOcean server. A quick Googling produces:
- Ampcache - for installation, see these instructions on github
- Icecast - for installation, see the documentation
In terms of bandwidth, here are some basic calculations on how much outgoing bandwidth would be used, based on number of listeners and bitrate of your audio: keep in mind, constant listener means streaming 24/7, 30 days per month!
| . | Streaming at 96kbps | Streaming at 128kbps | Streaming at 320kbps |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 constant listener | 31GB monthly bandwidth | 41.5GB mon. bandwidth | 104GB mon. bandwidth |
| 10 constant listeners | 310GB monthly bandwidth | 415GB mon. bandwidth | 1.04TB mon. bandwidth ($5 droplet max) |
| 100 constant listeners | 3.10TB monthly bandwidth (~$20 droplet max) | 4.15TB mon. bandwidth (~$40 droplet max) | 10TB mon. bandwidth (crazy!) |
This is referencing droplet transfer limits shown on pricing page
