StreamPi Server
This repository has the source code for StreamPi Server, which runs on the Computer, to communicate and talk to StreamPi Client
What is StreamPi?
StreamPi is an opensource, free alternative to the Elgato Stream Deck, which is a fully customizable and powerful multi-purpose keyboard.
Why StreamPi?
The original Stream Deck can serve as an extremely useful and powerful tool for Streamers, gamers, and professional users. However, it is not a budget friendly option for the average user. Hence, we decided to work on an opensource and cheaper alternative to the Stream Deck - The StreamPi
How to use StreamPi?

ON LINUX SYSTEMS, THE MINIMUM PORT MUST BE 1024, OR ELSE SERVER MUST BE RUN AS ROOT
StreamPi has two branches of software - Server and Client
This repository contains the Server Side code, which can run on any desktop/laptop running Windows or Linux.
The client was originally written for the Raspberry Pi, which is a very cheap and powerful Single Board Computer. However, since this is written completely in Java, it can run virtually anywhere, even on another PC!
TL:DR you can run StreamPi Server, and Client on Linux, Windows and MacOS!
Since the Raspberry Pi is a small form factor motherboard, it can be used as a keyboard, if paired with any touch screen.
How to install StreamPi Server?
Configuring Server is pretty easy, grab the latest build from Releases according to your preferred Operating System, and then run the server.bat (Windows), server.sh (Linux and MacOS) to start the Server! No Installation required!
