Did you ever see the movie Holes (2003)?

Gotta find something to sell to stay afloat. Why not user data? /s

Honestly depends on whats being served. As i say people can run servers on enterprise grade multi thousand £ systems or a £50 pi or mini pc.

Since you have a specific usage in mind, media server, you basically want hardware that will allow optimised performance so you can have a lag/ buffer free experience.

Say,

hardware thats good for on the fly encoding/ decoding

Lots of ram for multitasking.

Lots of storage to store the media.

Maybe gigabit network cards for multiuser streaming without bandwidth bottlenecks.

It really depends on the experience and chokepoints

ECC ram ill let someone more familiar answer but im leaning towards non critical and nice to have

Nothing you couldnt upgrade on your typical PC. Just makes life easier…at a cost.

Server serves a specific application(s). PC is general day to day usage.

Both are computers. Pc hardware can be used as a server. Server hardware can be used as a pc.

Using a computer for day to day tasks - call it a pc. Use it to run a web server application or host a game - that one or more users will access - call it a server

Hardware can be configured to optimise it for its function. E.g pc can have latest GPUs and “servers” can have multicore cpus and loads of ram, rack mounting form factor and dual power supplies for redundancy.

But it could also be weak - i have raspberry pi’s and old laptops set up as a servers

Yeah that’s a fair point but its a full website with only one page for streaming in this case

Seems this is the way to go amongst all the replies. Didn’t realise i could reverse proxy a camera stream! Thank you

Reverse proxy the stream and reference itself in the reverse proxied website? Is there no way to do it internally in nginx?

Hadn’t heard of it before. Thank you!

I dont know… you tell us! There is a market for all sorts of things

In any case this isn’t an OF/ kink kind of website, rest assured :)

Ooh i see. So Funnel provides an encrypted tunnel and proxy URL for the camera stream out of my network?

So i point the video player to that “public” address and its good to go?

Interesting!

Nothing obvious in the browser logs. Not even a 404 but ill check the other logs again. Thanks!

I need the website to serve to public users but the website itself is out of scope of this post.

One of the pages will be a video player

Apologies if it wasn’t clear.

Yes, I have an RTSP stream all the way to my local network. I can pick up the RTSP stream and also HLS, WebRTC etc. all locally. For all intents and purposes I have a stream ready to go on the local network at 192.168.X.A

The webserver is also on 192.168.X.Y and serves wordpress just fine.

I just dont know how to make the two talk. When I go to https:// website. com the embedded stream looking for 192.168.X.A doesn’t work

However if I go directly to 192.168.X.A in my browser the stream works just fine (I’ve ommited ports in this comment)

Free, self hostable, not subscription based, and lots of support. I’m making a whole website of which one page will be a “live stream”. Happy to explore other options though!

Edit: It won’t be a high traffic production website btw. Just a basic one for a select few users

Is that just to bring the webserver/ WordPress on to the same subnet? Because they already are at this point… everything’s on the 192.X subnet.

At this point we can ignore the VPN and just assume I’m trying to pick the stream up from mediaMTX

Codium. It’s VSCode without the proprietary stuff

Understand its not your fault and you shouldnt blame the world. Everyone goes through this at some point (esp guys) - be it skinny, fat, coloured or not, tall or short. Everyone has their preferences.

Giving up on actively finding a girlfriend is probably the best thing to do in your situation - but not out of spite - some women find an attractiveness in someone who has fun in their own presence. People want to be a part of that joy. Being bitter will only drive away friends and potential relationships.

With that said, do your own thing. If being skinny bothers you (and you alone, not what anyone else thinks), hit the gym and eat more? Try more activites either solo or with friends. Maybe even some extreme sports which a partner would otherwise not join you in. Just enjoy life and someone will come. I know people who found relationships in the most unexpected of times and places.

I understand theres an inch in the intimate department that cant be scratched with just normal friendships but idk, resist tbe urge or find other outputs to bring your urges back down enough so you can just be you and comfortable

Crowdsec?
