Trouble with Cloudflare Tunnel, OBS, and Owncast
I installed owncast (self hosted live streaming app) on a VPS which I am using cloudflare to manage wildcard ssl certificates for a bunch of self hosted apps.
When I add my rtmp address from my owncast server and stream key to OBS studio it is supposed to connect and start streaming.
Due to cloudflare, it's blocking rtmp, and the solution from Owncast is to create a cloudflare tunnel to access my server, as described in the docs, here:
https://owncast.online/docs/cdns/
I have tried to create a tunnel and I have done so, but I am still unable to connect to my streaming server from OBS.
Can someone who has experience with tunnels please help me figure out what is misconfigured with my tunnel?
