I have been using their free VPS at "System On Grid" for a few months. I originally want to use it as a Livepeer node. But at the time, Livepeer had a memory requirement and the free VPS with 1Gig of mem was not cutting it. So I think I will just continue using it to host a website. However...I just noticed they instituted a huge price reduction and was wondering if anyone is using one of there VPS's for hosting a Livepeer node? Check out these prices at https://systemongrid.com/pricing/ Disclaimer: I am not being rewarded in any way from SoG for posting this. I just think the pricing is phenomenal! Although their default price is based on 10Gb of storage. it looks like a 8CPU, 8GB Mem, 40GB SSD and 8TB Transfer would be $20.00/month! Which is what I am paying for half those features at another provider!!! I will run a speed test from my 1CPU/1GB Mem/10GB SSD free VPS and see how their speed is.
I spun up a free tier 30GB SSD t2.micro at Amazon. It's free for a year. You can have multiple accts to different email addresses. aws+001@gmail.com and so on. (if you have google g-suite or gmail, a + sign makes the handle a prefix for an alias)
Now broadcasting from a low specification (but free) VPS. https://media.livepeer.org/channels/0x58F3d09Dbd7A9aD4484FA54fa1D23509Ea4A8Edb
It initially hung after 10 secs or so. But re-initializing OBS and it been going for a few mins now.
The VPS has 1 CPU, 10 Mb SSD, 1 Gb Mem.
Still holding at 30 sec. latency!
sounds like being way too small for any streaming task over 144p
Its a free tier so I suspect they don't give out any tools.
The wrench in this will be memory. I'm down to 68M free.
I'm thinking <1hr broadcasting per 1Gb of memory.
Goes down to 60M then back up to 75M?
So the initial mem problem must be fixed.
Well I'm a happy camper using the free VPS. Should be enough to do a demo if I need to.
Memory really is not that important in a live workflow
If everything works well buffers just fill and empty if you see your memory usage rising over time it usually is an indicator that something is not working right. Could be your resource management but it also could be a bug preventing those buffers to be cleared
I think given the micro instance you are using it is your resource mangement
I am working on a project that needs live streaming integration with blockchain . When i googled the matter the first thing that came up was livepeer.org .Can anyone help ?Atleast can anyone point me a file or package that contains the implementation or related code . Thanks in advance
..and welcome to Livepeer!!
@ericxtang Why would https://faucet.rinkeby.io/ tell me I have to wait 49 hours until the next allowance? That is not really acceptable. Or is rinkeby broke?

@ericxtang Not really sure. How about enough for a couple hours of broadcasting?
