Be your own
radio station.

rRadio turns your home server into a radio for the whole home: music all night, news on the hour, and new podcast episodes and voice messages from the family cut in the moment they arrive. Then the music carries on.

Get the iPhone app Set up the server

The server is free and open source. The app is the remote and the speaker for it.

What it does

A real radio, made of your things.

Pick a station or your own music library. rRadio plays it and cuts in whatever you follow, in the order it arrived, with a fade back to the music.

The server

Runs at home, in a few minutes.

The rRadio server is free and open source (MIT). It runs with Docker Compose on any home server, NAS or Raspberry Pi, and streams to the app, VLC, smart speakers and anything else that plays internet radio.

git clone https://github.com/maxASE/rRadio.git
cd rRadio
cp .env.example .env   # set your passwords
docker compose up -d

Then open the web interface on port 8080, add your stations and podcasts, and scan the pairing QR code with the app. The full guide is in the README.
