Live stream a computer webcam and embed into website?

[laserzap]

Hello, I'm trying to figure out the best way to stream a live video feed from a webcam connected to a small computer such as a raspberry pi. Preferably the most lightweight solution to capture and stream the video across the network so it can be embedded into a website.

I'm trying to use the most direct solution, so I would prefer not to stream it through services. Most IP camera's live video feed can be embedded into a website by using their IP address as the source of an <iframe>. What kind of software/hardware do those devices use?

Any help is greatly appreciated!

This is not the best place to ask this. I would suggest using google to find a tutorial on it.

Google says you can host the web page on the pi itself...
