Ministreamr, a video channel that lives on your server
An open-source self-hosted video and live-streaming platform for uploading from a phone, broadcasting through OBS, and keeping the channel’s files and audience activity under your control.
Field notes
Ministreamr stores videos as ordinary files in one data folder and presents the channel through static HTML served from the owner’s domain. Phone uploads use resumable 1080p H.264 chunks, while OBS handles live ingest and each stream is recorded for later conversion into a video. The deployment can use a one-line installer or Docker Compose with a receiver, MediaMTX, and Caddy; the page identifies Apache-2.0 licensing and warns that host bandwidth, rather than the software, becomes the ceiling for popular clips.
