Video Streaming Server

See a demo of what this is here - https://demo.streamplanet.tv/

Installation

Download all the files first:

git clone https://github.com/Athlon1600/nginx-rtmp-server.git

Next, you need docker.

Windows
If you are testing this from your local windows computer, download Docker from here: https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-windows/install/

Linux
On your linux machine, just run this command on your fresh box

bash <(wget -O - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Athlon1600/nginx-rtmp-server/master/install.sh)

Once installed, run this command inside the folder with the files:

docker-compose up --build -d

and that is it!

You could then login to any of the two "services" using:

docker exec -it rtmp /bin/bash
docker exec -it api_server /bin/sh

Monitoring

docker logs rtmp --tail 100
docker logs api_server --tail 100

Caddy

Useful for providing automatic HTTPS - one-click installation:

curl -sS https://webi.sh/caddy | sh

Modify .env and etc/Caddyfile accordingly, and then run:

caddy run --config ./etc/Caddyfile
