Launch MistServer in minutes

Orchestrate a proof-of-concept instantly. Pick a launch method, copy the command, and follow the quickstart. Prefer white-glove onboarding? Request an assisted trial to talk directly to an engineer.

Run a minimized MistServer image, or use the bootstrapped setup with hardware accelerated transcoding, sample videos, live generation and Grafana dashboard. Visit the docs to learn more about running MistServer in dockerized environments.

git clone https://github.com/DDVTECH/mistserver-bootstrap.git && cd mistserver-bootstrap && docker-compose up -d --build

Open http://localhost:4242 for the MistServer dashboard, http://localhost:3000 for Grafana monitoring, and use the bundled load-testing harness when you want to push traffic.
