owncast

owncast is open-source software for Linux that lets users take control of their content and stream it themselves. It is intended for people who want to run their own streaming service rather than rely entirely on another platform. The software is listed in the Communication category.

Installation is available through Snap with the command sudo snap install owncast --devmode --beta. After installation, users can start it by entering owncast in a terminal. The first run begins a quick test of the default setup.

An administrator can log in through http://localhost:8080/admin, or through the corresponding IP address when the software is accessed from another system. The Owncast documentation provides further information about configuring the setup at https://owncast.online/quickstart/configure/. MirrorNest stores a direct mirror of the official build and scans it for malware before publishing it.
