About
What LiveKit does
LiveKit is an open-source WebRTC Selective Forwarding Unit (SFU) for building real-time video, audio, and data applications. It handles the heavy lifting of WebRTC infrastructure including signaling, TURN server, and media routing. Use it to build video calls, live streaming, and interactive broadcasting into your own apps.

How to self-host LiveKit
LiveKit can be deployed with standard Docker Compose using the Yantr app catalog. This page collects the basic information searchers usually need first: what LiveKit does, which Docker image Yantr uses, default ports, deployment notes, and where to find the original compose template.
After deployment, Yantr lets you publish additional ports from the stack page using Docker-style syntax. Use 8080:8080 for a fixed host port or just 8080 to let Docker assign a random port.
Use Cases
What people run it for
- Embed real-time video and audio in your own applications.
