Hey!

In addition to what has been mentioned by KFSys, what I could add here is that you could use one of the 1-Click images from the Marketplace here:

For example you could try out the SRS image:

SRS Stack is an all-in-one, out-of-the-box, and open-source video solution for creating online video services, including live streaming and WebRTC, on the cloud or through self-hosting.

Good luck with your project!

Heya @d16e6e863ec04e1a948d80886978dc,

Yes, you can do that. Here is what you can check out :

I’ll recommend Premium CPU-Optimized Droplets for a Droplet you can use:

As for which one, I’ll recommend starting with the smallest one and upgrading whenever necessary.
