Who will be the first to run an independent public instance of zap stream server? #asknostr
Added what should be enough documentation for people to spin up their own zap-stream-core: https://github.com/v0l/zap-stream-core/blob/main/README.md#deploying
If something is missing let me know.
Also planning on pushing apps to Umbrel and Start9 maybe if people are interested in that?
Discussion
I don't know but I did that math and it looks good,
If someone charges even 1 sat per minute to stream and you have someone constantly stream for 24 hours, that's 1440 sats per day which is about 1.62 USD a day, after 30 days that's 48.60 USD a month. That pretty much pays for a dedicated server and gives you about 5 USD in profit.
The only downside is Kieran is allowing free streaming. So the chance of someone picking your server over a free server is low. In the past even the free one coat 1 sat a minute but he changed it to allow grow.
You should pursue this further. All the servers are currently EU only. There is room for other geo-locations so that streamers from north American, Asia, South America - or even Slayer from South Africa (pun) - have lower latency options for their streams.
Ya when I'm back I'll look into it
I'll happily spin a server up in mexico with my Start9 if it's ever added to the marketplace.
How have you been man? Miss you!
I tired several weeks ago but I got stuck at the LND part so I gave up.
There seems to be 3 providers now so I think we're good now. I'll try another time to get one going.
I remember. Since then Kieran has changed quite a few things and made the entire backend deployable with docker composer. You can now also use an LN address with NWC instead of running your own node.
what! that sounds amazing. I'm gonna setup a digital ocean vm tiis weekend to test it out cuz they charge by seconds, if that goes well, I'll try to put it on my live server. thanks for letting me know
