which server choose

[salur.webdev]

Hello,
What parameters must the server have to handle 200 transmissions and 5000 viewers? I am using wcs5.1 webrtc

You may need more than 1 server.
About 2 servers for 200 transmissions.
About 5 servers for 5000 viewers.
--
7 servers in total

General requirements for 1 server: Xeon CPU 12-24 cores, 64 GB RAM

It will be cheaper to buy a server from a flashphoner on Amazon or your own dedicated server on OVH and install wcs on it?

 

[Max]

Amazon would not be cheaper.
It will be twice or even more expense than the same dedicated server configuration.

I understand.
1. What bandwidth should a single server have?
2. Can you disable the web-interface (https://my-site.com:8888) completely?

 

[Max]

1 stream 640x480 has bandwidth about 0.5-1 Mbps in a good quality
1 stream 1280x720 has bandwidth about 2-4 Mbps in a good quality
So you can calculate your bandwidth based on number of streams.
For example for 1000 streams 640x480 it would be 500 - 1000 Mbps (about 1 Gbps).

You can close port 8888 on your firewall.
You can't just disable web UI, but we are working on this option. Internal issue WCS-1419.

Are there any recommended settings to minimize cpu / ram load when using only webrtc?
