About go2rtc
go2rtc is an open source camera streaming application, published as a repository on GitHub. Its project description calls it an ultimate camera streaming application with support for dozens of formats and protocols. It can run as a standalone app or be integrated into other projects. The project's README describes it as a zero-dependency app for Windows, macOS, Linux, and FreeBSD.
Setup options include a downloadable binary, Docker containers, and a Home Assistant add-on or integration. Streams are defined in a go2rtc.yaml file, which can also be edited in the web interface at http://localhost:1984. Transcoding through FFmpeg is used only when necessary. The README notes that master builds are the latest but may be unstable, and that Linux and macOS binaries must be made executable with chmod before use.
