  • owncast

    Take control over your live stream video by running it yourself. Streaming + chat out of the box.

    • You could look into running https://owncast.online/ on a small VM in some cloud somewhere. You seem to already be an IONOS customer, so you could launch a VPS or Cloud server with them. Should work on Digital Ocean too. They even have a one click startup for anowncast droplet.

  • Ant-Media-Server

    Ant Media Server is a live streaming engine software that provides adaptive, ultra low latency streaming by using WebRTC technology with ~0.5 seconds latency. Ant Media Server is auto-scalable and it can run on-premise or on-cloud.

    • The free version of Ant Media Server should work. You can either host it yourself, or put it in your VPS of choice. (I’ve run Ant Media in AWS on the T2 Micro tier with 200+ viewers no problem.)

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
