How do I log in to Owncast?

1. In the panel, open My servers and click your server.
2. On the Overview tab, wait for the App row to say "Owncast is ready". The page refreshes itself.
3. Click Open app.
4. Open the link in the Admin address row. The Login is admin and the password is in the Password row.
5. In your streaming software (OBS, for example), enter rtmp://your-server-address/live as the server. The stream key is the value in the Admin key row of the panel.

Further down the page, the Username row and the Password row below it are for SSH. Don't use them to log in to Owncast.

Good to know

• The stream comes in on port 1935/TCP, and viewers watch the page on ports 80 and 443.
• Video processing runs on the CPU. For high resolution and many viewers, pick a stronger plan.
• The site opens over HTTPS on a free sslip.io address based on your IP. If a certificate can't be issued, it opens over http:// instead. Only ports 80, 443, 1935 and 22 (for SSH) are open to the outside.
