Go Donut: Convert Live Streaming to WebRTC
Donut connects SRT and WebRTC for real-time media streaming in browsers. Users can set up streaming via a web interface, requiring ffmpeg and offering Docker-Compose support for easy installation.

donut is a tool that connects SRT (Secure Reliable Transport) and WebRTC, enabling real-time media streaming directly in browsers without requiring extensive setup. Users can initiate streaming by entering the necessary protocol, host, port, ID, and options in a web interface. Once the "Connect" button is clicked, a WebRTC connection is established, allowing asynchronous media streaming to the browser.
To get started, users need to have ffmpeg version 5.x.x installed. They must set the CGO library path to their ffmpeg installation and then install and run donut using Go commands. Alternatively, donut can be run using Docker-Compose with a simple command.
The web interface can be accessed at http://localhost:8080/demo, where users can input their streaming details. Additional resources are available, including a Mac Development Guide for specific instructions and a FAQ section for troubleshooting common issues. This setup provides a straightforward way to stream media from SRT and RTMP sources to WebRTC-enabled browsers, making it accessible for users looking to implement real-time media solutions.

9 commentsHere is the library's streaming demo:
The problem with needing a TURN server is that you practically need to host it yourself, because there are no fast and reliable public ones, probably due to abuse. WebTorrent also has the same problem since it also uses WebRTC, and as such, 99% of applications that use either technology simply do not work at all for me or anyone else I've asked to try these services.
Mostly a tech-demo, or primarily to plug a p2p layer onto existing servers?
<donut server=‘’ src=‘rtmp://….’ />
src could be any protocol you want.
