Maintenance health: Maintained

Last commit within the past 12 months. Last commit · No releases in the past year · 2 commits in the past 12 months.

How we label health: Active = last commit within 90 days, Maintained = within 12 months, Slowing = 12–24 months, Stale = over 24 months, Archived = read-only repository, Unknown = no data. Activity data from awesome-selfhosted-data (refreshed daily from GitHub); release counts from the GitHub releases feed (includes pre-releases).

Run Restreamer yourself

  • RAM: ~4 GB server (2 vCPU)
  • Docker: yes — image datarhei/restreamer on Docker Hub (5692.7k pulls)
  • Storage: plan disk for your data (media/files grow fast); attach a volume or use object storage.
  • video transcoding is CPU-heavy; 2+ vCPU or a GPU/iGPU helps
