gollark: Now, the diagram says "nginx". Nginx is also an important part of this setup. It is a reverse proxy allowing me to run all this slightly crazy stuff on one IP, and encrypt with "HTTPS" apiotechnology.
gollark: It also got a HTTP endpoint, available at https://radio.osmarks.net/random-stuff/current-song, which dumps the status etc. information in JSON for the frontend to read.
gollark: So this gained a loop polling MPD - remember, it has a client-server model, so other stuff can communicate with it. Use of MPD turned out to be a good design decision!
gollark: But that isn't very relevant here.
gollark: This also accreted a small admin interface and youtube-dl frontend, mostly as a result of an aborted attempt to implement SSO.
