Security
Binaries are compiled from source through the Release workflow without human intervention, preventing any external interference.
You can verify that binaries have been produced by the workflow by using GitHub Attestations:
ls mediamtx_* | xargs -L1 gh attestation verify --repo bluenviron/mediamtx
You can verify the binaries checksum by downloading checksums.sha256 and running:
cat checksums.sha256 | grep "$(ls mediamtx_*)" | sha256sum --check
