    I would love to see this. Also definitely waiting for Lives from peertube but it won’t have comments or chat for its first iteration

    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: -2
    

    Seems 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 ACCEPT
    

    I 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.

    @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.
