Owncast

Owncast v0.1.2

Changelog

[0.1.2] - 2023-11-18

Upgrade instructions from 0.1.1

  1. Stop the service from running. If you’re using a pre-installed image through a hosting provider, or setup Owncast to run under systemd you can probably just simply run systemctl stop owncast.
  2. Change to the directory where Owncast is installed on your server.
  3. If you’ve customized your web interface in any way you will want to back up the files you’ve changed or customized.
  4. Re-run the installer as the user you run Owncast under. For example if you are running owncast as the user “owncast”: curl https://owncast.online/install.sh |bash owncast
  5. Restart the service. If you’re running under systemd systemctl start owncast.
