Keyframe

Keyframe is a self-hosted live video streaming server with integrated community features.

Getting Started

On a NixOS server, add the following to /etc/nixos/keyframe.nix:

let
  keyframe = (builtins.fetchTarball https://keyframe.alterednarrative.net/download/0.1.tar.gz)
in
{
  imports = [
    keyframe
  ];

  keyframe = {
    enable = true;
    domain = "stream.yourdomain.example";
    streams = {
      test = { email = "your@email.example"; };
    };
  };
}

Then import it in your configuration.nix, by adding:

# ...
  imports = [
    # ...
    ./keyframe.nix
  ];
# ...

You should also set up a mailserver that can send email. simple-nixos-mailserver is a good choice if you don't have one already.

After this, run sudo nixos-rebuild switch, and check your email!
