AVideo Platform Hardware Requirements
We recommend at least 1 GB ram (files up to 500 MB), 1 CPU core, and 80 GB disk
Better hardware will be a better performance (of course)
- If you want to encode faster, get a better CPU
- If you want to encode larger videos, get more RAM
- If you want to have many simultaneous users, get more bandwidth
- You can have unlimited and simultaneous live streams.
- You can have unlimited users connected to each live stream.
The only limitation is your hardware, but we can not tell you what hardware is needed to handle a specific amount of users. It depends on your bandwidth and the quality of the video you are transmitting.
But If you plan on using this site for a live broadcast with a large audience, I recommend that you have a dedicated server. Usually, VPSs suspend you because live streams drain a lot of cloud resources.
By default, we use NGINX to stream your live stream without resizing it, so if you broadcast in 1080p, your users will receive 1080p live.
But we also use the Adaptive Bitrates on Livestream, what will consume more of your CPU and less of your bandwidth. More simultaneous Livestream, more CPU will consume.
But in my experience is, with the Adaptive Bitrates on Livestream a 100 mbps Network can handle up to 100 simultaneous users. So a 1Gbps should handle 1000 Simultaneous users.
if you want details about how to improve your Live Stream try to ask it on https://github.com/arut/nginx-rtmp-module
The CPU is mainly used to encode VOD videos. The faster your processor is faster you will encode your videos
We recommend at least 2 CPUs core
There is a script calculation..., your maximum file size can be only 50% of your RAM memory because the script needs to copy files between locations and handles it on the virtual memory.
In Example, if you want to upload a 4GB file you will need to have at least 8 GB Ram on the server otherwise you will have a Memory Leaks - Allowed memory size of # bytes exhausted error.
You will need ports 80, 8080, 443, 444 and 1935 to make the default installation
- 80 for apache HTTP
- 443 for apache HTTPS
- 8080 for nginx HTTP
- 444 for nginx HTTPS
- 1935 for RTMP connection
