Architecture
Built with Flutter clients and a Go streaming backend
Hightube separates a portable client experience from a compact, self-hostable backend, keeping deployment simple while leaving room for native desktop, mobile, and web clients.
Go backend
The server handles API requests, authentication, live room state, RTMP publishing, HTTP-FLV playback, chat, and monitoring.
Self-hosted streaming
Deploy the server on your own Linux host and connect compatible broadcasters such as OBS through standard RTMP workflows.
Project highlights
Open, free, and cross-platform by design
Open source freedom
Read, modify, build, and deploy the platform from source without vendor lock-in.
Cross-platform clients
Current builds include Linux, Web, and Android client packages, with Windows builds planned later.
Practical live features
Live rooms, RTMP publishing, HTTP-FLV playback, multi-quality transcoding, chat, danmaku-style messages, and admin monitoring.
Small deployment surface
The Go server uses a lightweight runtime model and can be deployed as a single Linux server component.
