This is a hobby project I started on my own in 2020. I wanted to run an 'always up' broadcast. I did not want to run a GUI application like OBS on my desktop.

To meet my self imposed requirments I created some micro-services to run on my FreeNAS machine. The micro-services inluding a metadata DB with API server, a python script to play videos, and a discord bot for users to interact with.

I run the DB, metadata API, and Discord bot in a docker-compose network of containers. The player runs on a seperate Raspberry Pi connected to hardware for streaming video to RTSP services. The project is still running locally 24/7, but due to bandwidth limits I'm not pushing the video stream to a host such as Twitch/Youtube. If you'd like to see it in action just contact me.
