The last days I spent tweaking the stream output quality of #Owncast on my #RaspberryPi 5 server.
It's not an encoding beast but can provide at least two different quality levels.
Bottleneck is the frame rate that needs to be lowered to 30 fps for that.

Alternatively you can go for video passthrough, also with an additional quality level encoded by the Pi, but such a mix leads to playback issues in my case.

Encoding higher bitrate than 4000 is also possible if natively provided by OBS.

Today I found out that I can use a subdomain from my already existing online shop domain to #DNS forward to my #homeserver. I now have a nice looking web address for my #Owncast server and don't need to register a new domain. 🌐 After that I took care of gaining https and SSL. I followed Owncast's recommendation for Caddy, who provide a SSL reverse proxy with a free certificate from Let’s Encrypt. At last I took care of the branding and individual look of the channel. #selfhosting #Linux #FOSS

Things moving quickly now. 😃 Don't know how, but somehow I just managed to do a short test stream on my self hosted #Owncast server. After all the issues I had during the last days with my #RaspberryPi and my Internet Service Provider to get my server running , it was so invigorating to set up Owncast with such ease. Thanks @[email protected] for the great software and the easy to follow documentation. Didn't expect the installation being that easy. 👌 #selfhosting #streaming #fediverse

...figuring out what to request specifically I reached out for my ISP and they luckily could provide me with everything I needed and even unlocked it within one hour only. I used this telephone call to also upgrade my upload bandwidth to 50 Mbit/s, what should give me the opportunity to host some more traffic intense services on my home server and therefore don't need to outsource this to a #VPS. It's strenuous but I am sure the resulting opportunities will be rewarding. #selfhosting #server
