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

i wouldn't put all my eggs in one basket
no repo link?
¯\_ (ツ)_/¯
omg what is happening to this forum!
@msatt
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..........
@obuca545 repo link ?
You can test the software on premise within your laptop.
No VPS needed.
you are welcome mr. obama.

Do you have a demo or recording of how your stream works?
Yeah, absolutely the stream is live right now, so you can see it in action
Just open this link in your browser (works on phone or PC):

Doesn't work
doesnt work
@obuca545 Try Cloudflare tunnel
Nah
why
obuca545: try my demo
everyone: it doesn't work
obuca545: "Nah"
Sorry - without forum history, thanks etc. it would not be possible to provide a free VPS. Also expecting / hoping for unlimited bandwidth and very high uptime does not feel like a good match for using FOSSVPS.
At least I'll just say stream VPS.
@obuca545 How are you paying for LLM tokens? Surely you are paying more than $20/year for your LLMs.
Is this project for profit or non-profit?..The service here is rather bad.
This is a for profit forum mate 😂
Noted
I mean, the site seems rather old, and what's funny about that?
The link is not working.
Wait hold on a sec...
Says the guy asking for a free VPS on a "rather old" "bad .. service" site
Okay let's see....
Did you ever end up putting up a demo? lol
