Looking for a Free VPS / Sponsor to Host an Open-Source Live Streaming Server

obuca545 · October 18

Hi everyone,

I'm the developer of the RedStream Sovereign, an open source live streaming server implemented in pure Python (no FFmpeg, no nginx, no pip packages).

What the server does:
It receives a live stream from OBS / Streamlabs (RTMP protocol) and converts it to the HLS format, so it's possible to view the streams in VLC, browser or iptv player. It's very lightweight and was tested on 70MB ram.

Why do I need a VPS:
I was trying to run the server on shared hosting but it's impossible because of RAM limits, CPU throttling or process killing after x hours of streaming. I need a stable server to run my streams and keep the project alive.

What you need to provide (minimum):

· 2 vCPU
· 4 GB ram
· 24/7 uptime (it must be online every day for months / years without any process killing or account suspension)
· unlimited bandwidth (or at least 2TB per month) (for example, 720p 1080p stream will last for about several hours per day)
· open tcp ports (RTMP and HTTP)
· preferably Linux (Debian or Ubuntu)

I'm not a company, I'm just one person and I can't afford a paid VPS. If anyone can help, even if you are a community manager or represent a VPS provider that supports FOSS projects, it would be great!

Thanks for reading.

Nothing wrong with asking for sponsorship or support, especially for an open-source project. That's what communities are for....., It really depends on the project and whether it's worth supporting...... but asking guaranteed uptime for years sounds less like looking for a sponsor and more like looking for someone to adopt a data center bill..........
