NodeCG is a live graphics system, designed to be used in live broadcasts. It is primarily aimed at Twitch broadcasters using Open Broadcaster Software, but is usable in any environment that can render HTML. NodeCG is based on the overlay system developed for the Tip of the Hats 2014 charity event.
NodeCG provides a basic bundle system for graphics, as well as an admin dashboard for controlling the bundles.
A bundle contains HTML, Javascript, CSS, and any other resources required to produce a certain graphic animation and also contains an admin panel for controlling the animation. See nodecg-samples for some examples of how these bundles are structured.
Install node.js & npm, then run the following:
git clone https://github.com/nodecg/nodecg.git
cd nodecg
npm install --production
node server.js
To run NodeCG in production, pm2 is recommended.
