PS. The application is compiled with the latest versions of the Go language for maximum speed and security. Therefore, the minimum OS versions depend on the Go language.

go2rtc: Docker

The Docker containers alexxit/go2rtc and ghcr.io/alexxit/go2rtc support multiple architectures including 386, amd64, arm/v6, arm/v7 and arm64. These containers offer the same functionality as the Home Assistant add-on but are designed to operate independently of Home Assistant. It comes preinstalled with FFmpeg and Python.
