Why use the VPS? I’m missing something but as long the bandwidth is high enough and the latency is low enough it should work. As with any VPN, you’re not “directly” on the network so auto detect might not work.
My apartment has internet that is just ok—I wanted the more reliable connection. I will be streaming IRL, so I can’t be on the local network.
They have streaming server services, but they are $100 per month, and I can get a high bandwidth VPS for much cheaper, and I have the tech skills to set things up myself. Just stumbling at the final hurdle here.
Maybe I'm missing something. But why not stream from your ipad to your OBS Studio on your PC via Tailscale?
If you want to stream to multiple services why not use Datarhei Restreamer instead of Mist server?
I’m basically trying to do exactly what you are describing in your first paragraph. As I understand it, OBS Studio wants the camera directly connected to the device it is on, and MistServer allows it to be remotely connected from a different device on the local network. I’m trying to use Tailscale to create a local-ish network environment.
I haven’t heard of Dararhei before—I will definitely investigate that to see if it is a better solution than MistServer. From a cursory look, it seems like they basically do the same thing.
Why?
To stream IRL in Mexico.
