This is the Free Software edition of Red5pro. I think it auto-scales on Linode and Digital Ocean. It has a java-based RTMP (Real Time Messaging Protocol) client and a media server. There is a demo and free-trial of the pro-version on their website.
"Red5 is an Open Source Flash Server written in Java that supports:
Streaming Video (FLV, F4V, MP4, 3GP)
Streaming Audio (MP3, F4A, M4A, AAC)
Recording Client Streams (FLV and AVC+AAC in FLV container)
Shared Objects
Live Stream Publishing
Remoting
Protocols: RTMP, RTMPT, RTMPS, and RTMPE" -

@LoudLemur WOW apparently this one went under the radar
That would sound like a great addition. On the other hand, I'm not much fund on Java. Might be because all I knew was it was resource hungry but that was a long time ago.
Do you think it would run well on cloudron?
Another concern is that Java is among the oldest programming languages and yet we still see not much of Java apps, at least in FOSS market.

Hello guys!
@LoudLemur, thank you for suggesting Red5!
Our website has been recently updated, and here are the latest links about our open-source live streaming solution and our proprietary product, Red5 Pro@micmc, thank you for considering Red5!
Java is still very relevant and remains one of the most widely used programming languages globally – over 9 million developers use it worldwide. Over 50% of enterprise applications are built using Java. It's particularly dominant in sectors like banking, retail, and insurance. Java is still the leading language for back-end development, and it's widely adopted for building large-scale applications, microservices, and cloud-based infrastructure.At Red5, we’re always eager to explore how we can help, so feel free to contact us if you’d like to start a conversation. Looking forward to discussing this further!

That is why I said it was among the OLDEST programming languages. The main target market for Cloudron is NOT 'enterprise', imho...
My concern was about RESOURCES needed to run Java on a server (which you did NOT address at all btw), and NOT if Java was still relevant or not. And it's nothing to do with the quality of your product.
I was not trying to get into a debate about Java though my concerns remain. Still relevant, to maintain the OLDests enterprise computing systems, indeed it's relevant for banking, retail, and insurance... After 30y in IT among 25y online in software industry and particularly FOSS, I reiterate, I literaly NEVER see any NEW, nor INNOVATIVE, systems or modern app built from JAVA. It's only facts, sorry I do not mean anything else.

Where did Java go wrong? I thought it was such a good idea when it was first released. Forget about underlying hardware, just use the software as a platform. Perhaps it was because of the non-Free Java. I don't know.

Not sure. I agree it was sounding as something great, but, imho, it's the rapid evolution (not really expected) of the JavaScript languages that have zapped Java from winning the market. Runs mostly in client's side which is much less hard on the server's resources, and does NOT require a special server as Tomcat server (@girish ?) to serve Java pages.
