In order to run the image, Docker is reqiured.
There are two ways of downloading the images.
Recommended build: the easiest way is to pull it directly from docker hub by running:
docker pull aweponken/nginx-rtmp
Manual build: if you want to build it yourself you can clone the GitHub repo and then build the docker by running the following commands:
git clone https://github.com/Aweponken/nginx-rtmp.gitcd nginx-rtmpdocker build -t aweponken/nginx-rtmp .
This image exposes port 1935 for RTMP streams and has 1 channel open: "live".
The configuration file can be found in /usr/local/nginx/conf/nginx.conf
To run the container and bind port 1935 and 5001 to the host machine; run the following:
docker run -p 1935:1935 -p 5001:80 -d aweponken/nginx-rtmp
Check that nginx is running by hitting http://localhost:5001 in a browser.
Under broadcast settings, set the follwing parameters:
Streaming Service: Custom
Server: rtmp://<your server ip>/live
Play Path/Stream Key: test
In your favorite RTMP video player connect to the stream using the URL:
rtmp://<your server ip>/live/test
