Owncast – An open-source, self-hosted live streaming server

@fbartels Wowee I really need to learn to read docs. Thanks for the rescue

I've released v0.20.

Still a lot I'm not proud of. Like putting everything in /app/data. The app writes to its root directory a lot which is why I initially did this

Pushed a new release. Seems like for similar settings, Peertube performs a lot better in terms of server resources transcoding a 1080p and 480p stream at 6000 Kbps and the fast preset. Owncast seems to spike my server (given its a 9th gen i3) 60ish% load.

@atrilahiji Don't feel bad - I'm working on Papermerge and it does the same darn thing. Really frustrating. Tried going the symlink path but after 50 links, decided to take a step back and rethink. Still no thunk yet But doon.

@doodlemania2 wouldn't it be nice if there was a tool that could auto-symlink things that need it?

[doodlemania2]

@robi oooooh that'd be shiny

See also, https://forum.cloudron.io/topic/2707/open-streaming-platform-osp and PeerTube's upcoming live stream support.

I tried PeerTube a few month ago and it was very unflexible to me. Eventually I will give it another try.

@atrilahiji I see you’ve started creating an app at https://git.cloudron.io/AtriLahiji/owncast-app I’m really curious what the status is and if it will be on Cloudron AppStore?

[A Former User]

@imc67 I’d say is very usable right now but I didn’t bother cleaning it up much for a proper release or adding tests.

@imc67 I’m curious about trying it now that I’ve moved my server to a beefy Ryzen CPU. Maybe it will be better now... who knows.

Did you give it another go?

[A Former User]

@jdaviescoates nope! I will probably get to that today though. My ADD brain will try really hard

Here's my new package: https://git.atrilahiji.dev/atrilahiji/cloudron-owncast-app

It is still a CPU hog compared to Peertube but they added a lot of new features. Thankfully going from a 4 core to a 16 core processor brought usage to 25% peak for a stream.

[jdaviescoates]

@atrilahiji thanks! Looking forward to this being in the app store!

[imc67]

@atrilahiji @girish it would be indeed very good to have it in the AppStore soon, it's a perfect alternative for PeerTube.

[A Former User]

Sorry! Turns out I had not actually pushed my changes to that repo. I added the changes to the repo on git.cloudron.io: https://git.cloudron.io/AtriLahiji/owncast-app/-/releases/1.0.0

I've started moving to having serious app packages on cloudron git and mirroring them on my git for discoverability

Also I imagine its less confusing for @staff lol

[imc67]

@atrilahiji & @girish & @nebulon is it possible to add this to the AppStore?

@girish +1 for OwnCast

What is the latest on making OwnCast available on the standard Cloudron?
Linode offer an OwnCast and Ant Media service on their servers. (Linode also support Cloudron.)
Does it require many resources?

Also consider Ant Media Community Edition:

@loudlemur I absolutely could. I had a package but am thinking of re-doing it to get off of twitch (I hate using anything Jeffery Bezos makes money from). My time is very much stretched now between work, life, and freelance so I will be a "i'll get to it when I get to it" situation. Of course, if anyone else wants to go for it, go for it
