Owncast – An open-source, self-hosted live streaming server
-
I tried this out here: https://git.cloudron.io/AtriLahiji/owncast-app
Only issue is I am having troubles accessing the rtmp server it provides to stream (port 1935). Is there something else I would need to do to allow additional ports through for this app @girish?
OBS Logs when connecting
01:26:58.743: [rtmp stream: 'simple_stream'] Connecting to RTMP URL rtmp://cast.lahijiapps.dev/live... 01:26:58.754: cast.lahijiapps.dev/live is offline. Try a different server (ECONNREFUSED). 01:26:58.755: [rtmp stream: 'simple_stream'] Connection to rtmp://cast.lahijiapps.dev/live failed: -2Seems like the app logs don't even indicate that there was a connection attempt. My assumption here is the port is blocked. I even tried this when SSH'ed into the server:
sudo iptables -I INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 1935 -j ACCEPTI guess anyone could pitch in too. I figured @girish would be a good person to ask as it is down to (most likely) a port issue.

@atrilahiji you need to define the rtmp port in the cloudron manifest. You can use https://docs.cloudron.io/custom-apps/manifest/#tcpports
@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?

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?

@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?

@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!

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

@atridad & @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:
