'''Booth''' is a module for [[Basecamp]] that turns your computer into a broadcast station, with no platform, account or directory server behind it.<br />
<br />
== What it does ==<br />
* You point OBS at Booth and press Start. Booth runs a MediaMTX origin and announces your station over Logos Messaging topics.<br />
* Booth only broadcasts. Listening happens in a separate module, the Receiver.<br />
* A station is its public key. Booth signs every announce with that key, so nobody can take over your station by copying its name.<br />
* Each signed station gets a three-word fingerprint made from its key. Tell your listeners the three words so they can check it is really you.<br />
* You pick an identity tier. Anonymous sends unsigned announces. Autogenerated keeps a key on this one machine. Keycard keeps the key on a Logos Keycard, so the same identity works on any device with the card.<br />
* You pick who can find you. A public station appears in the directory every Receiver watches. Since v0.2.2, a private station announces on a topic made from its title and a passphrase, and the announce is encrypted.<br />
* You pick how much of your address shows. "Hide IP with Tor" runs a Tor hidden service and announces a .onion address. "Show IP (LAN)" is a direct pull for local, low-latency use.<br />
* A station re-announces every 15 seconds and drops off a Receiver's list 45 seconds after the heartbeats stop.<br />
<br />
Stage: Prototype. The README opens with "This is a personal, experimental hobby project." It also says Booth is not an official Logos product and is not audited.<br />
<br />
== Use it ==<br />
# Install Logos Basecamp v0.2 or later. The signed releases are built for Linux (amd64).<br />
# Install the runtime tools: OBS Studio, MediaMTX, ffmpeg and tor. The .lgx packages do not bundle them. From v0.2.1 a first-launch card lists anything missing and gives you the install command.<br />
# Download both packages from the [https://github.com/xAlisher/booth-basecamp/releases releases page]: radio_module and radio_ui. Install both with lgpm. The internal module names stay radio_module and radio_ui after the rename to Booth.<br />
# Booth needs the delivery module. On Basecamp 0.3.x the package manager installs it as a dependency. The README says the old pin to delivery v0.1.1 only matters on a Basecamp 0.2-era host.<br />
# Open Booth in Basecamp. Name the station, pick identity, reach and privacy, then press Start.<br />
# Copy the ingest values from the OBS setup card into OBS (WHIP, RTMP or SRT) and start streaming. When the light shows Live, the station is signed and announced.<br />

<br />
== Build it ==<br />
* Booth builds with Nix. Build the core with <code>cd radio_module && nix build</code>, then launch the UI with <code>cd ../radio_ui && nix run .</code>.<br />
* <code>./scripts/install.sh</code> builds both .lgx packages and installs them into Basecamp.<br />
* Headless tests for the core and the UI are listed in the README.<br />
* Ports, the directory topic, the heartbeat and the time-out can be changed with RADIO_* environment variables.<br />
<br />
== Releases ==<br />
* v0.1.0, 10 June 2026: first release.<br />
* v0.2.2, 28 July 2026: private streams.<br />
* v0.2.3, 13 August 2026: network fix for the logos.test preset.<br />
