Streaming Setup on a VPS with OBS, MistServer, and Tailscale (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I’m trying to set up a streaming server on a VPS. I’m using OBS Studio and MistServer in a Debian docker container with noVNC access to control it.

MistServer is supposed to be able to detect a stream on the local network and then create a custom RTMP key so that it can be passed to OBS studio and then streamed to multiple platforms simultaneously.

I was thinking that I could use Tailscale to create a virtual network, and that should connect the camera to MistServer. If I do that, could I just use the Tailscale IP as the RTMP IP address and then have it treat the camera as if it is on a local network?

Essentially:

Camera wired to iPad > Tailscale > MistServer > OBS Studio > Multiple Streaming Platforms

Is there some better way to do this that I’m totally missing?

Thanks for any help you can provide.

Edit: to clarify, I’m talking about a livestream of my own live content that I create, not a Plex stream of media or anything.
