TServer

The easiest way to install tserver is download it from our Release page

Or if you prefer to build from source

• Clone the repo git clone https://github.com/qnkhuat/tstream
• Install the Go toolchain
• Build the server package: cd tstream/tstream && go build cmd/server
• Run it ./server

Optional configurations:

• -host localhost:3000: Address to server tserver. Default is localhost:3000
• -db .db: path to BoltDB file. This DB is used to store data like: finished streaming. Default is $(pwd)/.db

Test the server with curl http://localhost:3000/api/health. It should return the current time

Client web app

This is what currently running at tstream.xyz.

To run it:

• Install nodejs
• Clone the repo: git clone https://github.com/qnkhuat/tstream
• cd to the client folder: cd client/
• Install dependencies: npm install
• Tell the client your the server address by: export REACT_APP_API_URL={your server address}
• Run server: npm run start

Now go to localhost:3001, it should be exactly like tstream.xyz

For production I recommend using service like Vercel. It's free and very easy to setup

Streaming

By default the tstream package will stream to https://server.tstream.xyz

You can override it with by running tstream -server {your server address}.

For example : tstream -server http://localhost:3000
