I wanted to multi-stream but never found a multi-streaming service that I really liked. One that I can self-host; one that’s open source. So I made one.

Introducing xplex v1.0.0 — a self-hosted, containerized, multi-streaming server with a user-friendly web dashboard. It gives you full control to:

  • host anywhere you like
  • manage cost with instance uptime
  • stream to as many platforms you want

To make it even easier, I’ve put up xplex as an 1-click app on the DigitalOcean Marketplace. This is what I use now for convenience: spin up a server when I go live, then delete the instance when done streaming, to keep costs minimal.

xplex is for anyone who wants to multi-stream, and it doesn’t need advanced technical wizardry. It’s designed it to be accessible, but I’m actively looking for feedback to make it even simpler.

I’ll also be multi-streaming at 15:00 UTC on Twitch and YouTube; so drop by with your questions or suggestions to improve xplex!
