I'm on the hunt for a live stream service that can manage the input of RTMP or RTSP streams and handle the network demands of multiple viewers. While I've looked into options like Cloudflare Stream and Bunny.Net, they cover the viewer side but not the stream input. Essentially, I'm building a replacement for Twitch or YouTube live streaming that will operate from my server. Does anyone have recommendations for services that can handle this?

I've had success with using the nginx-rtmp-module and Mist Server. Both should be able to handle what you're looking for without too much hassle.
Have you thought about just using YouTube for streaming? You could pair it with a client that supports RTSP. That's a pretty straightforward approach!
I need it for private events, so we're using Authentik for login on my server.
It would help to know more specifics about your setup. Are you looking to proxy the video, or something similar?
I'm planning to have both a native client and a web client that will embed streams from the backend provider. My server can manage regular web traffic, but not the live video streams.
The issue is that those solutions would still put the network load on my R640, which I'm trying to avoid. I need a third-party solution to offload that.
