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

[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.

@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.

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

[imc67]

@atridad @girish really curious when the app will be there in the app store?

[girish]

@atridad do you know where your package code is currently ?

[doodlemania2]

@girish i have it on my server - want me to upload it to git.cloudron?

[girish]

@doodlemania2 yes, please!

[LoudLemur]

@girish @doodlemania2 Currently, there is a "livestream to (yuch!) youtube" tool available in jitsi-meet. Hopefully, the Jitsi team will support Free livestreaming options like Owncast as an option soon. It would be wonderful to be able to run Owncast and livestream to it from jitsi-meet.

@girish https://git.cloudron.io/doodlemania2/owncast
not my work, I just updated it to 0.0.11 recently
with thanks to the OP!

[LoudLemur]

@doodlemania2 Wow! Where is the procedure explained for using an unofficial application on Cloudron? Is there a video or something like that? I would like to try this for Odoo too.

[timconsidine]

@LoudLemur do you mean app packaging ?
https://docs.cloudron.io/custom-apps/tutorial/?support_view

or installing a custom app already packaged ?

or something else that I didn't understand (sorry) ?
