Satyr Usage

Administration

Satyr needs access to port 1935 for RTMP streams, and will serve HTTP on port 8000. See CONFIGURATION.md for details on changing this.

For HTTPS, run a reverse proxy in front of satyr. An example nginx config can be found at install/satyr.nginx An example systemd service can also be at install/satyr.service

CLI

Satyr's CLI tool can be run with npm run cli or node_modules/.bin/ts-node src/cli.ts

It's not very complex. The following commands are available:

  • npm run cli -- --adduser sally --password "hunter12" to create user sally with the password hunter12
  • npm run cli -- --rmuser sally to remove user sally
  • npm run cli -- --invite to generate an invite code used for creating account even when registration is closed

Users

Accounts

If registration is open, users can register at example.tld/registration, and set some options such as whether to record VODs and a stream title on /profile Stream keys can be changed at example.tld/changesk, and passwords at /changepwd

Chat

Chat is based on Socket.IO, and can be accessed through the webclient at /chat. Chatting and changing a nickname do not require authentication, but the usernames of streamers are reserved.

The following commands are available:

  • /nick sally (password) Password is only required if sally is a registered user.
  • /join sally Join the chatroom for sally's stream and leave the previous room.
  • /kick bob Available only in your own room if you are a streamer. Forcefully disconnect the user.
  • /ban bob (time) Ban a user from your room. Bans are based on IP address. The optional time is in minutes. The default is 30.
  • /banlist List the IPs currently banned from your room.
  • /unban (ip) self explanatory

You can set up mirroring to and from webchat rooms and IRC channels, twitch streams, and discord server channels. More information is in CONFIGURATION.md

Streaming

Users should stream to rtmp://example.tld/stream/examplestreamkey The stream will be available at rtmp://example.tld/live/kawen and http://example.tld/live/kawen/index.mpd

Most software, such as OBS, will have a separate field for the URL and stream key, in which case the user can enter rtmp://example.tld/stream/ and the stream key in the appropriate field.
