+# AGENTS.md
+
+## Overview
+
+Stream Sprout is a bash-based RTMP restreaming tool that forwards a single video source (from OBS Studio or similar) to multiple destinations like Twitch, YouTube, Owncast, and Peertube simultaneously. It uses FFmpeg's tee muxer to copy streams without transcoding.
+
+## Tech Stack
+
+- **Language:** Bash 5.0+ (single script: `stream-sprout`)
+- **Runtime dependency:** FFmpeg (RTMP server and restreaming)
+- **Configuration:** YAML parsed via awk/sed
+- **Packaging:** Nix flake, Debian .deb, Snap, Docker/Podman
+
+## Build and Run Commands
+
+```bash
+# Run directly (requires ffmpeg, bash 5.0+, awk, grep, sed)
+./stream-sprout --config stream-sprout.yaml
+
+# Show version and FFmpeg info
+./stream-sprout --version
+
+# Show system info (useful for bug reports)
+./stream-sprout --info
+
+# Nix build
+nix build
+
+# Enter development shell with all dependencies
+nix develop
+
+# Docker build and run
+docker build -t stream-sprout .
+docker run -p 1935:1935 -it -v $PWD:/data stream-sprout --config /data/stream-sprout.yaml
+```
+
+## Linting
+
+ShellCheck is enforced via CI on all pull requests.
+
+```bash
+# Run locally before committing
+shellcheck stream-sprout
+```
+
+The script includes `# shellcheck disable=SC2154` for variables set dynamically via `eval` from YAML parsing.
+
+## Code Style
+
+- Bash scripts use `#!/usr/bin/env bash`
+- Functions use `function name() {}` syntax
+- Use `local` for function-scoped variables
+- Use `readonly` for constants
+- Validation with informative error messages using Unicode icons and ANSI colours
+- Version is tracked in the script: `readonly VERSION="x.y.z"`
+
+## Project Structure
+
+```
+stream-sprout           # Main bash script (single file)
+stream-sprout.yaml      # Local config (gitignored)
+stream-sprout.yaml.example  # Example configuration
+package.nix             # Nix package definition
+devshell.nix            # Nix development shell
+flake.nix               # Nix flake
+Dockerfile              # Alpine-based container
+```
+
+## Configuration
+
+YAML config with two main sections:
+
+- `server:` - RTMP server settings (ip, port, app, key, archive options)
+- `services:` - Destination services (each with enabled, rtmp_server, key)
+
+Config search order: `./stream-sprout.yaml`, `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/stream-sprout.yaml`, `/etc/stream-sprout.yaml`
+
+## PR and Commit Guidelines
+
+- **Commit messages must follow [Conventional Commits](https://www.conventionalcommits.org/)**
+- PR titles are validated against Conventional Commits format
+- Single-commit PRs must have matching PR title and commit message
+- ShellCheck must pass with no warnings
+
+Common prefixes: `feat:`, `fix:`, `chore:`, `refactor:`, `docs:`
+
+## Version Updates
+
+When changing version:
+
+1. Update `VERSION` in `stream-sprout` script
+2. The Nix package extracts version automatically from the script
+
+## Constraints
+
+- Requires bash 5.0 or newer
+- FFmpeg must be available on PATH
+- RTMP only (no RTMPS support currently)
+- FFmpeg does not enforce stream keys (documented security limitation)
+
+## Security Considerations
+
+- Stream keys are stored in plain text in YAML config
+- FFmpeg accepts any RTMP stream on the configured port regardless of app/key path
+- Do not expose the RTMP port to untrusted networks without additional protection (VPN, firewall, SSH tunnel)

 # Introduction

-Stream Sprout uses FFmpeg to re-stream a video source to multiple destinations such as Twitch, YouTube, and Owncast.
+Stream Sprout 🌱 is a simple, self-contained, and easy-to-use solution for streaming to multiple destinations such as Twitch, YouTube, [Owncast](https://owncast.online/) and [Peertube](https://joinpeertube.org/) 📡
+
+<div align="center">
+  <img src=".github/demo.gif" alt="Stream Sprout" width="505" height="415"/>
+</div>
+
+It uses [FFmpeg](https://ffmpeg.org/) to receive the video stream from OBS Studio (or any encoder that can produce RTMP) and then restreams it to multiple destinations. This provides similar functionality as services like Restream.io and Livepush.io but without the need to pay 💸 for a third-party service or run something like nginx with the [RTMP module](https://github.com/arut/nginx-rtmp-module).
+
+Stream Sprout is configured with a simple YAML file and designed to be run on the same computer as your [OBS Studio](https://obsproject.com/) instance (it can be run remotely, [**with appropriate security measures**](#-ffmpeg-rtmp-server-accepts-any-rtmp-stream-on-the-listening-port-), and does not require root privileges.
+
+There is no transcoding or processing of the video stream 🎞️
+The stream is received and then restreamed to the destinations you configure without modification.
+Optionally you can also archive the stream to disk 💾
+
+While the restreaming process is lightweight, **your bandwidth requirements will increase with each destination you add.** 📈
+Ensure you have sufficient bandwidth to support the number of destinations you intend to stream to ⤴️
+
+Stream Sprout is developed on Linux 🐧 and should work on macOS 🍏 or any other platform that supports `bash` and `ffmpeg` 👍️

+
+### Docker & Podman
+
+#### Pull the container
+
+The Stream Sprout container image is available from the GitHub Container Registry for amd64 and arm64.
+To pull the latest container image:
+
+```shell
+docker pull ghcr.io/wimpysworld/stream-sprout:latest-alpine
+```
+
+Or if you want a specific version:
+
+```shell
+docker pull ghcr.io/wimpysworld/stream-sprout:0.1.5-alpine
+```
+
+#### Run the container
+
+The `stream-sprout.yaml` configuration file will be on the host computer so you need mount a volume to access it from the container.
+
+If you have already pulled the container image, you can run Stream Sprout with:
+
+```shell
+docker run -p 1935:1935 -it -v $PWD:/data stream-sprout --config /data/stream-sprout.yaml
+```
+
+If you have not pulled or built the container image, you can run Stream Sprout with:
+
+```shell
+docker run -p 1935:1935 -it -v $PWD:/data ghcr.io/wimpysworld/stream-sprout:alpine-latest --config /data/stream-sprout.yaml
+```
+
+- The `-p 1935:1935` part will expose the RTMP server port `1935` on the host computer.
+  - If you have configured Stream Sprout to use a different port, you should change the port number here too.
+- The `-it` options will run the container in interactive mode.
+- The `-v $PWD:/data` part will mount your current directory `$PWD` as `/data` within the container, allowing you to access your files using the `/data` path.
+
+#### Build the container
+
+Build the Stream Sprout container image:
+
+```shell
+docker build -t stream-sprout .
+```

 ## Configure Stream Sprout

-Copy the [example Stream Sprout configuration](https://github.com/wimpysworld/stream-sprout/blob/main/stream-sprout.yaml.example) file and edit it to suit your needs.
+Copy the [example Stream Sprout configuration](https://github.com/wimpysworld/stream-sprout/blob/main/stream-sprout.yaml.example) and edit it to suit your needs 📝

-`services:` are arbitrarily named. Just create an entry for each RTMP destination you want to stream to.
+You can specify the configuration file to use with the `--config <path>` option.
+If you don't specify a configuration file, Stream Sprout will look for a configuration file in the following locations, in this order:
+
+- Current working directory `./stream-sprout.yaml`
+- XDG configuration directory `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/stream-sprout.yaml` (*Linux*) or `~/.config/stream-sprout.yaml` (*macOS*)
+- `/etc/stream-sprout.yaml`
+
+### Server
+
+Here's an example configuration for the Stream Sprout `server:` section.
+
+```yaml
+server:
+  ip: 127.0.0.1
+  port: 1935
+  app: sprout
+  key: create your key with uuidgen here
+  archive_stream: false
+  archive_path: ~/Streams
+```
+
+The `server:` section is used to configure the RTMP server that Stream Sprout creates.
+- The default `ip` address is `127.0.0.1`. Use `0.0.0.0` to allow connections to any network interface.
+  - If you remotely host Stream Sprout, use an IP address that is accessible by your computer that runs OBS Studio.
+- The default `port` for RTMP is `1935`, but you can use any port between `1024` and `65535`.
+- The default `app` name is `sprout`, but you can use any name you like.
+- Set `key:` to a secure value to prevent unauthorized access. Running `uuidgen` will generate a suitable value.
+
+The IP address, port, app name and key are composed to create the RTMP URL that you will use in OBS Studio.
+For example, `rtmp://ip:port/app/key`.
+
+### 🚨 FFMPEG WILL ACCEPT ANY RTMP STREAM ON THE CORRECT PORT 🚨
+
+**FFmpeg does not currently enforce `app` or `key` paths for its incoming RTMP server.**
+**Regardless of the `app` or `key` you set in the Stream Sprout YAML FFmpeg will accept *any* incoming stream on the correct `port`**
+
+⚠️ Do not expose the Stream Sprout RTMP server to the public internet without additional security measures ⚠️
+- Consider using a VPN or SSH tunnel to secure the connection 🔐
+- Or firewall the RTMP port to only allow connections from trusted IP addresses 🔥🧱
+- See the [Limitations section](#limitations) section below for more information.
+
+#### Archive streams
+
+If `archive_stream:` is `true` Stream Sprout will archive the stream to disk in the directory specified by `archive_path:`.
+If `archive_path:` is not accessible, Stream Sprout will fallback to using the current working directory.
+
+### Services

-Description: Restream a video source to multiple destinations such as Twitch, YouTube, and Owncast.
- Stream Sprout uses FFmpeg to re-stream a video source to multiple destinations
- such as Twitch, YouTube, and Owncast.
+Description: Restream a video source to multiple destinations such as Twitch, YouTube, Owncast and Peertube.
+ Stream Sprout is a simple, self-contained, and easy-to-use solution for
+ streaming to multiple destinations such as Twitch, YouTube, Owncast and Peertube
 .
+ It uses FFmpeg to receive the video stream from OBS Studio (or anything that
+ can publish a RTMP stream) and then restreams it to multiple destinations;
+ providing similar functionality as services like Restream.io and Livepush.io
+ but without the need to pay for a third-party service or run something like
+ nginx with the RTMP module.
+ .
+ Stream Sprout is configured with a simple YAML file and designed to be run on
+ the same computer as your OBS Studio instance (it can be run remotely too) and
+ does not require root privileges.
+ .
+ There is no transcoding or processing of the video stream. The stream is
+ received and then restreamed to the destinations you configure without
+ modification. Optionally you can also archive the stream to disk.
