Volta, from Novalsonic
Volta takes a live feed in, re-encodes it if you want, and sends it out to players, browsers and TV boxes. You install it on a server you control and rent the licence by the month or the year.
A licence covers a number of servers. Streams and viewers are not counted. Pay by the month, or by the year for less.
€49 a month
or €490 a year
€149 a month
or €1,490 a year
You need a server running Ubuntu or Debian that you can reach as root. Everything else comes with the installer.
curl -fsSL https://novalsonic.com/install/volta.sh | sudo LICENCE_KEY=XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX bash
Nothing for the first 7 days: everything keeps working and the panel shows a reminder. After that the control panel locks until you renew. Channels that are already running stay on air the whole time.
Yes. In your account, remove the old server from the licence; the place it held is then free for the new one.
No. Volta runs entirely on your machine. It contacts us about once a day to check its licence, and that message says which server is asking and which version it runs — nothing about your streams or viewers.
It keeps working. Each check gives the server a signed statement of when its licence ends, and the server goes by that until it can reach us again.
Sign in, open the licence and press Renew. Renewing early adds the new time to what you have left.
Turn on two-step sign-in under Account. It works with Google Authenticator and any other authenticator app.
Order a licence, and install it with one command once it is paid.
