Congratulations! You have successfully installed µStreamer on your Void Linux system. You can now stream video from Raspberry Pi to any device with a web browser.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
