System Requirements
Streamwell runs in Docker on a dedicated server that you control. The server can be hardware, virtualized, or on a cloud provider of your choosing. Linux works best as the server OS, but for smaller installations serving limited viewer numbers, macOS or Windows works great too.
Streamwell requires a solid internet connection for all participants. Networks with high congestion, packet loss or high ping times will impact the latency and playback reliability.
Minimum Requirements
Linux / Windows / macOS running Docker (x86 or ARM are both supported natively)
Tested Linux flavours include Ubuntu, Fedora, CentOS, Rocky
Quad-Core Intel Core i5 or better.
2GB RAM on linux, 8GB RAM on macOS or Windows
8GB disk space
100Mbps+ wired internet connection
Access to your modem/router port forwarding settings
Recommended
Ubuntu 22.04
1Gbps or better wired internet connection
4 dedicated cores is normally sufficient for up to 100 viewers over WebRTC or 500+ HLS viewers, but more CPU power and networking overhead will be required as the number scales. We have some performance tuning advice and can offer load tests / further assistance to customers in support.
RAM usage remains minimal unless transcoding or serving many hundreds of viewers.
Web Client
Google Chrome is recommended for the best experience 🥇
Microsoft Edge, Firefox and Safari also compatible 🥈
Default Network Ports
80/443 TCP (Web Interface HTTP/HTTPS)
1935/1936 TCP (RTMP/RTMPS)
9998-9999 UDP (SRT)
10010 UDP (Stream Data)
If you are installing Streamwell right now and you are feeling unsure of which ports you need to forward, please contact support for guidance.
