Do you have any resources for someone who would want to get started in small-time self hosted options?
Context here is just self-hosting my own site for friends to stream to friends (instead of whatever we squeeze out of Discord).
The WebRTC work sounds awesome, would like to try it out.
Yes! I maintain https://github.com/glimesh/broadcast-box for this.
You can try it out at https://b.siobud.com to see if you like it first. It if fits your needs then go for the self host :) I run my instance on Hetzner
I want to add more features to it, but I have been focused on OBS mostly lately. If you have any ideas/needs that would make it work for you and your friends I would love to hear! Join the discord and would love to chat.
What I want to do next is make a 're-broadcast feature'. So friends can stream to it + hang out. When they are ready they hit a button and then goes to Twitch/YouTube etc...
