Contribute to Owncast

This is where the Owncast project documents itself: how to contribute, how the software is built and released, the thinking behind its design and architecture, and what we're planning next. It's for contributors, maintainers, and anyone who wants to take part.

• Contribution guides and local development setup
• Architecture, design, and engineering notes
• Project planning, feature requirements, and the release process

These are internal project and developer docs, not user documentation. Setting up your own server? Head to the user docs.
