Self hosted live streaming (lemmy.world)

I am curious and looking for ideas or recommendations on how to accomplish live streaming to a self hosted server from anywhere.

I know the appeal to live streaming is live reactions from a community, like twitch or Facebook or whatever. But what I'd like is private live streaming to friends and family, automatically saving this footage to my own server for historical reasons. Quality and bandwidth isn't limited to some subscription.

It's maybe a niche thing to self host, but if any of you have ideas on how this could be done, or recommendations on solutions that already exist, I'd be very appreciative.

Need more details here:

What's your bandwidth and delivery medium like?
What are your edge/router specs?
What hardware would you be hosting this on?
What format are you expecting to stream (audio and video formats)?
Related to #5, what hardware would you streaming from?

OBS and Owncast should allow you to do this for the most part, but it's heavily dependent on all of the above.
