This. ProxMox will save you many times over while you are learning. It makes it so easy to backup and restore, try out new projects in a sandbox, and much much more.
I credit ProxMox with making me bolder about what I wanted to accomplish and having the courage and time to take risks while knowing I could always restore from backup in an instant.
Gluetun is the way. Get a transmission docker container, set up a gluetun docker container, set the gluetun container as the network for the transmission container.
Viola, you have a perfectly working VPN with a kill switch.
2001 was 24 years ago in 2 days. BitTorrent can drink.
I have about 60TB in mine. Media, man. Collecting is addictive.
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.
Because OBS studio allows me to have more control of the stream, do overlays on the screen, etc. I need to remotely connect to that software, and then it broadcasts it to Kick, YouTube, etc.
If I stream directly, then it will cut the stream if I lose cell connection, which is likely at times in Mexico, and I will basically be stuck to streaming on one service at a time.
The other advantage of having overlays with my username is that it will help people find me if I get clipped and put on YouTube by viewers.
This is an example of a service that does what I’m trying to do, but I’m trying to do the same thing for much cheaper:
Bruh, pirate? I’m talking about a livestream. A livestream of me that I will broadcast to an audience. Totally legal, no copyright—my original content.
Care to give me a hint?
To stream IRL in Mexico.
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.
Debian always wins.
I know people knock it, but Plex has worked without issue for me for years. They have apps dedicated to every type of media for easy browsing. It’s so simple my mom can use it without help.
If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.
It says right above that box that it requires the WHOOGLE_CONFIG_PREFERENCES_KEY or that option will be ignored. My guess is that you have to manually edit some config file to turn that key on, or generate an encryption key yourself that you provide through editing a config and adding it to that line.
Edit: you probably need to add your own domain or IP as the root URL too.
Not sure if this helps, but e-sims are extremely cheap and can be set up on the go through an app these days. You could get a 5g plan in the area with bad internet and use it as a hotspot to download content to your other devices. I use Nomad, but there are a lot of providers with plans that are unlimited or pay by the gig—all affordable with time periods as short as 7 days.
A $10 solution, in a pinch, is a good choice.
Because he streamed. Streaming turns to swatting nearly every time if you don’t protect your location information.
My ex wife turned out to be a Lenovo. She and her new girlfriend seem very happy. /s
What are you hiding? /s
I think you could do that, but you will be further bottlenecking your bandwidth, and you will be adding an extra layer of complexity that could lead to unforeseen issues down the road.
Personally, I would just enable the kill switch, or run the VPN client side, but not double it up with 2 VPN’s.
