What RTMP Ports to use if I want to use both PeerTube and Owncast?

[jdaviescoates]

I've got an instance of Owncast installed. Love it.

Thought I'd give PeerTube a go too. But when I tried to install it I got and error telling me RTMP Port 1935 is already in use (by Owncast).

Can I just use a different port number? I know nothing about such things.

@jdaviescoates try it!

Yes, you can use any port.

@girish OK thanks, but I'm guessing there is some reason why they both default to Port 1935? is that the standard expected port for such things? I wonder if I'll hit any issues if I don't use that port...

@jdaviescoates Most protocols have a default port. The default RTMP port is 1935 - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real-Time_Messaging_Protocol . If you only have one IP, there is no other way other than to run multiple apps which have same protocol other than using different ports. (And of course, Cloudron itself supports only one IP at the moment).

The only issue would be if your streaming software cannot stream on any other ports, which is very unlikely. Simply set an entry for Owncast and one for PeerTube using the two different ports you set on your Cloudron.
