Datarhei Restreamer is a self-hosted live video streaming server with a web UI, built on FFmpeg and distributed as a Docker image. It ingests video via RTMP, SRT, and RTSP (e.g., from OBS) and publishes to HLS players, websites, and platforms like YouTube Live, Twitch, and Vimeo.
Use cases
- self-host a live streaming server without licensing costs
- restream one live feed to YouTube, Twitch, and Facebook simultaneously
- embed a live video player on my own website
- receive RTMP streams from OBS and publish via HLS
- run a streaming server on a Raspberry Pi
- stream privately with a secret link for my audience
- monitor viewers and bandwidth of my live stream
When to choose
- you want a complete, self-hosted streaming solution with a friendly UI and REST API
- you need to restream to multiple platforms at once
- you want to avoid third-party streaming providers and stay GDPR compliant
- you run on Docker, including ARM/Raspberry Pi or GPU-accelerated encoding
When to avoid
- you need VOD hosting or video-on-demand libraries rather than live streaming
- you want a fully managed cloud service without running your own server
- you need advanced video editing or transcoding pipelines beyond FFmpeg's capabilities
- you cannot run Docker or Podman on your host
