I am aware that being a computer geek myself, my opinions on the museum might …

What the script does, is build a decent live-stream server for you, from scratch, on a machine running on Ubuntu 22.04. The live-stream server will be fully configured and work out-of-the-box, with an RTMP entry to send your stream to, Adaptive bitrate streaming for the viewers in HLS and/or DASH formats.

You will need to replace …
This post is the full introduction that goes together with a new tutorial that I’m posting shortly after this.
