rtsp-simple-server VS Restreamer

If you want to stream your webcam as an H264 encoded rtsp stream, it can be done with either rtsp-simple-server or V4l2rtspserver And it is possible to stream a linux desktop (and any program that might be open, like your web browser with the gcode viewer running on it) with the V4l2Loopback device and either of the two prgrams above. It is quite an involved process, but it is do-able.

rtsp-simple-server

I've tried using ffmpeg and rtsp simple server:

Ok, you need a NAS or their Cloud, a simple USB drive won't do it. The important thing is you need the receiving device to offer a transfer protocol named 'RTSP'. Modern Synology, QNAP, and MyCloud (by WD) devices support RTSP, although different methods to connect. Eufy Cloud would be the easiest method, next is Synology NAS is simple to setup with Eufy instruction, but since you have some hardware you can run things like this: https://github.com/aler9/rtsp-simple-server but obviously that will take more time and effort.

Very cool - going to try this out later. I had something similar on my todo list, but figured I would use: https://github.com/aler9/rtsp-simple-server

I had a nightmare setting this up for my streams. I ended up going with rtsp-simple-server as it seems to work a little quicker and is much better documented. There is an option to toggle between always having a stream "live" or stop when there are no viewers

Here is one example that I found (there are more). https://github.com/aler9/rtsp-simple-server

You can use restreamer https://github.com/datarhei/restreamer

You should ideally be using a different machine for this to reduce network and possibly encode load, there are plenty of solutions for streaming to multiple endpoints you can self-host or put in the cloud. See for example: https://docs.datarhei.com/restreamer/

Depending on how you want to achieve this, you could use a combination of OBS + Restreamer or OBS + Project-Lightspeed. Another solution would be to use more specific solutions like neko

You could try posting an issue on ReStreamer's Github page and see if someone there has figured out how to make it work with Unifi-cam-proxy - https://github.com/datarhei/restreamer

Although if you know something about server then you could in theory use https://github.com/datarhei/restreamer, but only for Quest since let's encrypt certificates do not work with PC, I don't know why Quest supports them, but this version of Unity is simply too old, and doesn't support the current let's encrypt certs, unless you manually install them, which everyone on PC would have to do.

I did open a ticket, but no reply so far.

I have successfully redirected http to https with web apps before, but they were always run directly by either nginx or Apache. This particular app is Restreamer, which is run in a Docker container. I have Docker and the container running a GCP instance running Debian Bullseye. I don't understand how to redirect http to https with this. For example, I tried searching the actual Debian system for various strings in files, such as my.domain.com.key (the .key file that Letsencrypt created; I used the web app option to have https) thinking that the key file must be referenced somewhere, and that I may be able to redirect http to https within that file, whatever it is. I also tried searching within the docker container itself (ie, sudo docker exec -u 0 -it /bin/sh and then searching the filesystem within that). I tried other terms like listen or 8080 or 80 or VirtualHost, .htaccess, etc. I can't find anything that will allow me to redirect since I don't understand how the web app is run or what it is run with (if that makes sense).

I saw this on this sub a while ago.
