An independent internet radio station built from scratch — running 24/7 on a Raspberry Pi, powered by caffeine, snus, and a concerning amount of aspirin. Free to listen, anywhere, anytime. luciferko radio is a self-hosted, independent internet radio station built and maintained by one person — on a Raspberry Pi 5, with Navidrome, Icecast, and Liquidsoap under the hood.

Just want to listen? → radio.luciferko.dev No app, no account, no algorithm. Just music.

What went into this: — €300 in server hardware — €200 in storage drives — domain & infrastructure (luciferko.dev + mm) — ~1.5 months of testing, tuning, and occasional screaming at logs from scratch — 4–50 creative expletives per hour (bug-dependent) — 40+ "why are you still awake?" conversations answered at 5 AM — several liters of coffee, a modest snus habit, and a standing order for Bayer Aspirin — one pair of sunglasses to survive daylight after night shifts — and one thing that can't be invoiced: the freedom to build exactly what I imagined, the way I imagined it

What your support covers: €1 → 2 days of server electricity €5 → one tube of Aspirin (debugging recovery kit) €10 → a tin of snus to survive the next all-nighter €20 → enough coffee to rewrite the entire config from scratch at 3 AM €50 → I promise to finally get some sleep

No ads. No tracking. No algorithms. Just a server in a corner, a playlist built with actual taste, and someone who cares too much about audio quality for their own good.

Special thanks to my partner, who has answered "you're still awake?!" approximately 40 times — and still hasn't changed the WiFi password.

The music is 100% human-curated — no AI, no trending charts, no guilty conscience about skipping ads.

If you enjoy the stream and want to help keep the lights (and the server) on, even a small contribution goes a long way. Thanks for listening.
