Quickstart

These steps will utilize Docker, as going from a brand new sever to running the service is easiest done within a container.

  1. Create or login to an existing server somewhere.
  2. Install Docker. If it's a Debian based linux machine sudo apt-get install docker.io.
  3. Install git sudo apt-get install git.
  4. Download the code. git clone https://github.com/gabek/owncast
  5. Copy config/config-example.yaml to config/config.yaml
  6. Edit config/config.yaml and change the path of ffmpeg to /usr/bin/ffmpeg
  7. Edit your stream key to whatever you'd like it to be in the config.
  8. Make any other config changes.
  9. Run docker build -t owncast . and wait. It may take a few minutes to build depending on the speed of your server.
  10. Run docker run -p 8080:8080 -p 1935:1935 -it owncast to start the service.
  11. Point your broadcasting software at your new server using rtmp://yourserver/live and the stream key you set above and start your stream.
  12. Access your server in your web browser by visiting http://yourserver:8080.
  13. If you ever make any future config file changes you must rerun the docker build step otherwise you can just run the docker run step to run the service going forward.
