## Common questions

### Which Docker image should I use on a Raspberry Pi or with a GPU?

Use the rpi-latest image with the --privileged flag on a Raspberry Pi so it can access cameras and local hardware. For Intel or Nvidia GPUs, use the vaapi-latest or cuda-latest image for faster video processing.

### What should I back up to preserve my Restreamer setup?

Back up the /opt/restreamer/config and /opt/restreamer/data folders. They keep your settings, media, and recordings, so losing them means losing your stream setup.

### Can I receive video from OBS and publish it to YouTube or Twitch?

Yes, it can receive video from OBS and publish to YouTube or Twitch via RTMP and SRT.

### Can I stream input that is not already H.264?

Yes, Restreamer can use other input streams and encode them to H.264. It can also use the audio track and optionally remove it, add silence, or convert it to AAC or MP3.
