No Twitch, No Middlemen. Host Your Own Livestream

Host your own broadcast, with a minimal stack:

- A domain name - A VPS with a public IP (reference: indep.stream runs on a $4/month 512MB DigitalOcean droplet with 2G memory swap) - UDP port 50000 open on the VPS firewall - Nginx or Caddy + TLS certificate (Let's Encrypt / Certbot — free) - A Chromium-based browser to watch or broadcast (Chrome, Edge, Brave — Firefox not supported yet)

- Rust 1.83+ and Go 1.21+ installed on the server. (Built on: str0m (Rust WebRTC engine) github.com/algesten/str0m , tokio + axum (Rust async HTTP), tokio.rs, gorilla/websocket (Go WebSocket) github.com/gorilla/websocket

Choose to be sovereign if you want to, host your stream and it will be under your name or corp.
