Added "listen [::]:80;" for IPv6 support.

Some Ideas how to get the Real visitor IP? With your Example I getting only the Proxy IP on Icecast Logs.

@scysys see https://gitlab.xiph.org/xiph/icecast-server/issues/1959
For now just use nginx logs

How would you apply this to force the connection to be SSL.

you can use icecast-kh with

<paths>
<x-forwarded-for>x.x.x.x</x-forwarded-for>
(...)
</paths>

in config (x.x.x.x = ip of your proxy)

You don't need text/html in the subs_filter_types list as it's always filtered. In fact, if you do included it, nginx will complain to you about [warn] duplicate MIME type "text/html".

Otherwise, great config!

can we send audio stream from client (butt) through this nginx config?

No. And you should not do it either. See this note from the icecast maintainer: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/51786404/icecast2-running-under-nginx-not-able-to-connect/51786791#51786791
