Initial Server Bootstrap
First-time admin user creation with auto-generated JWT signing key on fresh instances — required before any other workflow step.
Ant Media Server Integration | Streamcake Live Streaming
Self-hosted real-time streaming with WebRTC, SRT, RTMP ingest, HLS/DASH/CMAF output, recording, JWT auth, and full server lifecycle orchestration via Streamcake.
Streamcake integrates with Ant Media Server to manage the complete lifecycle of a self-hosted real-time streaming engine — from initial server setup and SSL certificate activation through application creation and live stream provisioning with multi-protocol ingest (RTMP, SRT, WebRTC), to multi-format playback (HLS, adaptive HLS, DASH, CMAF, WebRTC), recording control (MP4, WebM), and full teardown. Authentication uses JWT signed with a configurable HS256 key. Health monitoring covers input bitrate, CPU, GPU, memory, and storage with configurable warning and error thresholds.Feature
SSL Certificate Activation
One-step HTTPS migration using the built-in subdomain certificate; server address automatically updated to port 5443 for all subsequent secure API communication.
Application Management
Create streaming applications with configurable HLS and DASH segments, security tokens, IP filtering, push notifications, encoder profiles, and webhook URLs.
Multi-Protocol Ingest
Accept live streams via RTMP, SRT, and WebRTC with configurable stream types, access policies, and custom SRT port assignment.
Multi-Format Playback
Per-stream endpoints for HLS, adaptive HLS, DASH, CMAF, and WebRTC generated and persisted automatically on stream creation for universal device reach.
Adaptive Bitrate Encoding
Configurable per-resolution transcoding profiles with target height, video and audio bitrate settings, and optional forced transcoding for consistent viewer quality.
Recording Management
Start and stop MP4 or WebM recording per individual stream with cloud storage upload and configurable timestamped filename formats.
JWT Secure Authentication
HS256-signed JWT tokens with auto-generated 32-character minimum signing keys authenticate all REST API calls to the server.
S3-Compatible Cloud Storage
Upload recordings and preview thumbnails to any S3-compatible endpoint with configurable region, path style, permissions, and transfer buffer.
Server Health Monitoring
Input bitrate, CPU, GPU, memory, and storage metrics with configurable warning and error thresholds and live thumbnail preview retrieval.
WebRTC Real-Time Delivery
Sub-second playback via WebRTC with configurable frame rates, STUN/TURN server support, port ranges, and data channel distribution to players.
Full Lifecycle Orchestration
Complete workflow management: server setup, SSL, application creation, stream provisioning, recording, and teardown executed in dependency order.
