Thanks - we should probably create a wishlist post for Vidzy too https://vidzy.codeberg.page/

@LoudLemur Maybe paperspace.com?

@robi no, he got it right. I'm looking for a photo/image review tool. Tldraw would have worked nicely for my use-case, but the multiplayer issue is a dealbreaker.

Where did Java go wrong?

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.

@timconsidine said in Video Streaming for Cloudron:

@LoudLemur in my understanding, streaming (especially Live) is not so much a question of technology, but of scale and server/bandwidth resources to support dozens, hundreds, thousands of connections. It is necessary to consider use case and scale in order to answer effective performance.

I think you have a pretty good idea of how that should be thought from the basis. So, in this regard, asking oneself for a start, what's the ultimate goal using video streaming or even podcasts or video sharing would be worth spending a bit of time on the question.

As @luckow mentioned about the possibilities and limitations of a VPS using a 1G bandwidth, it is important to keep in mind that for live streaming to large audiences it will eventually take more than 1G of bw output to smoothly scale streaming to such audience, whatever output capacity you have on your server. When you get in the thousands of live viewers even increasing RAM on the server won't be sufficient, it will help but you will need a bigger pipe to push it out. 🙂

OBS Ninja is a good example. Relatively simple to install/host. But how much does it support ? I don't know, but I would guess on most VPS servers or even small dedicated servers, it would be relatively limited.

OBS is used on your local rig and so it depends on your local resources to reach the streaming service server.

I know Peertube has live streaming capacities as well, however I haven't had the time to test it out yet. It would be interesting to learn about anyone else who might have tested this already, and if tested with OBS and well it works, or not lol 😆

Happy for someone to challenge this understanding. Would love to be proved wrong.
Happy to prove you right ✅

RTFM

Let’s make RTFM stand for Read the Friendly Manual or better make a new acronym such as WTFV or WTT for Watch the Tuto.

How to properly setup/secure your server to a high level of protection

For me, the highest level of protection is a server without access to the internet; then more realistically it is a server with access to the internet but where all the services are behind a VPN; such as OpenVPN, WireGuard, ...).

With a server open to the world, you are at the mercy of the developers (the one who develop the application such as Nextcloud, WordPress, ...)

@jdaviescoates Hi! Framacolibri do good work, but I am a bit peeved that the main developer isn't doing what it takes to provide clearer documentation on how to setup some of the more complex parts of Peertube. After he did so much work on the project, and had a chance for a break, you would expect him to make it easier to follow.

Peertube is a good project. It needs a bit of competition I feel.

@andreasdueren Aaah, fantastic! Thank you for sharing this repo. It was literal child's play building the HA server with that.
