• ⚡ Live stream your webcam video from your browser to social media platforms.
• 🫂 User friendly web-interface.
• 🔐 Authentication for clients.
• ✨ Add overlays to your stream.
• 🙌 Supports all platforms that allows streaming through an rtmp link.
• 🚫 We do not store your rtmp links and keys.

Getting Started 🚀

Prerequesite : You need to have docker and docker-compose installed on your machine.

1. Clone the repository on your machine.

git clone https://github.com/Dhairya-Arora01/Stream-Hard.git

2. cd into the cloned repo.
3. Start the application components using

docker compose up

5. Now you can access the application at localhost:8080 in your browser.
6. Create Account, enter your rtmp link and start streaming.
7. Here is the screenshot of the output stream on twitch.

Architecture 🏛

• Frontend : Vue
• Backend : Go
• Database : Postgres
• Other technologies used:
  • pion/webrtc for WebRTC
  • ffmpeg for sendting the stream to rtmp servers.

Under the hood ⚙️

After authentication, the user enters the rtmp link and hits go. Then,

1. This sends request to the backend server.
2. This opens a websocket between the client and the backend.
3. Both of them asynchronously obtain ICE candidates from the stun server.
4. Through the opened websocket they exchange ICE candidates, offers, answers and simultaneously set local and remote session descriptions.
5. WebRTC connection is established !
6. Now the webcam stream in the form RTP packets is sent directly to the backend.
7. ffmpeg forwards the stream to the provided RTMP server.

At Scale..📈

Currently we are also developing the Kubernetes repository for our Stream-Hard application that contains all k8s specific configurations. You can find the repository at https://github.com/Dhairya-Arora01/Stream-Hard-config . Your contributions are welcome on the configuration repository as well.
