Show HN: Xplex.me – Self-Hosted, Open Source, Multi-Streaming Server

3 points

2 years ago

Multi-streaming has struggled to gain mainstream adoption due to platform disincentives, lack of immediate benefits for streamers, and unsustainable pricing models for multi-streaming services.

Introducing xplex v1.0.0 — a self-hosted, containerized, multi-streaming server with a user-friendly web dashboard. It gives you full control over:

- where to host - how much to spend - which all platforms to stream to

To make deployment easier, xplex is also available as a 1-click app on the DigitalOcean Marketplace. I've found this approach particularly convenient: spin up a server when I go live, then delete the instance when done streaming, to keep costs minimal.

xplex is for anyone who wants to multi-stream without needing advanced technical expertise. I've designed it to be accessible, but I'm actively looking for feedback to make it even simpler.

Live Q&A: I'll be multi-streaming at 15:00 UTC on Twitch and YouTube. Feel free to drop by with questions or suggestions: - Twitch: https://twitch.tv/debloper - YouTube: https://youtube.com/@BreakerSpace

Would love your feedback, both technical and non-technical, to improve xplex!
