Both dashfetcher and livesim2 can be compiled to single binaries
on any target platform for the Go compiler such as Windows, MacOS, and Linux.
Since the result is a single binary it is easy to start anywhere.
On Linux, livesim2 can run as a systemd service and do structured logging
using the journald API.
An example service file is provided here as livesim2.service. Make sure that the binary and vod assets are available at the paths used in the service script.
The binary can also be started and log in more console-friendly formats.
See the help text provided with livesim2 -h to see the options.
For Linode, there is a nice stackscript for a full machine setup available at
https://cloud.linode.com/stackscripts/1189972.
Deploying with HTTPS and TLS certificates from Let's Encrypt is also possible. Use the
domains parameter.
Cross-compilation can be done like (Linux on Mac example)
> GOOS=linux GOARCH=amd64 go build .
