The receiver

Bonding sends your stream over every connection at once. Something with a fixed public address has to put it back together and pass it on to Twitch, YouTube, Kick or anywhere else. That's the receiver: one ready-built Docker container, StreamHelpers-Receiver, holding the SRTLA bonding receiver, datarhei Restreamer for publishing, a backup-video controller for when the bond drops, and Tailscale so the dashboard can reach its controls privately. It installs with one command, on a rented server or a machine you already own:

wget -qO- https://streamhelpers.com/receiver | sh

It asks nothing, then prints the address of its own settings page. Add a Tailscale key there, copy the IRLCFG- pairing code it shows, and paste that into the dashboard's Set up your stream wizard. Open UDP 25554 to the machine and you are done. Older dashboards and notes show the longer /irl-dashboard/receiver/install.sh address; it is the same installer.

• Your own streaming server: four steps, one command, about ten minutes — plus what to do with a receiver installed before September 2026
• Renting a server: what to rent, what it costs, and which plans will not run it
• Running the receiver on Unraid: Unraid's Docker storage fault, and the install itself

Questions go to #help on Discord.

Is this the same as Restream.io? No. The receiver includes datarhei Restreamer, which can publish directly to several platforms or send one output to the separate Restream.io service. Restream.io does not replace the SRTLA bonding receiver. See Restreamer vs Restream.io: do I need both?.
