---

Server Requirements

This plugin is a self-hosted live streaming solution. For the best performance and full feature support, a VPS or dedicated server is strongly recommended.

• PHP 8.0 or higher
• MySQL 5.7+ or MariaDB 10.3+
• Node.js 22+ recommended
• SSL certificate required for WebRTC and secure WebSocket connections
• Nginx or Apache web server
• WebSocket support
• Modern browser with WebRTC support
• Linux-based server recommended
• VPS or dedicated server
• Open ports for HTTP, HTTPS, WebSocket, RTMP, SRT, and streaming services

Docker-Based Media Processing

FFmpeg and GStreamer are included through the plugin Docker-based media processing environment. This makes the advanced recording, normalization, and backend mixer workflow easier to deploy without manually compiling or installing FFmpeg and GStreamer on the main server.

• Built-in GStreamer support via Docker
• Docker-based recording processor
• Docker-based normalized recording workflow
• Docker-based backend GStreamer mixer support
• Cleaner deployment for advanced media processing features

• RTMP support for external encoders
• SRT support for advanced external streaming
• HLS / LL-HLS support for compatible playback

• Firewall and server ports must be configured correctly

Important Note

Shared hosting is not recommended because live streaming, WebSocket, Docker-based media processing, recording, RTMP, SRT, and multi-participant streaming require server-level access and custom configuration.

Server requirements may increase depending on the number of live streams, viewers, participants, recording usage, GStreamer mixer usage, video quality, and storage configuration.
