M3U8 Proxy Docker Image

This Docker image contains an M3U8 proxy that can stream HLS files. It is built on the .NET platform and can be easily deployed using Docker.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, make sure you have the following installed:

• Docker: Install Docker
• .NET SDK 7.0: Install .NET SDK

Build the Docker Image

1. Clone this repository to your local machine.

2. Navigate to the project's root directory.

3. Open a terminal or command prompt.

4. Build the Docker image using the following command:

   docker build -t m3u8-proxy .

   This will create a Docker image named m3u8-proxy.

Run the M3U8 Proxy Container

After building the Docker image, you can run the M3U8 proxy as a Docker container.

1. Use the following command to run the container:

   docker run -d -p 80:80 -p 443:443 -e ProxyUrl="https://domain.com/" m3u8-proxy

   This command will start the M3U8 proxy container in detached mode, mapping ports 80 and 443 on your host machine to the container. Be sure to replace "https://domain.com/" with your actual proxy URL, and make sure it includes the trailing /.

2. You can access the M3U8 proxy by opening a web browser and navigating to http://localhost or https://localhost (for HTTPS).

Running the Project Without Docker

If you prefer to run the M3U8 proxy project without Docker, follow these steps:

1. Clone this repository to your local machine.

2. Navigate to the project's root directory.

3. Open a terminal or command prompt.

4. Set the ProxyUrl environment variable with your proxy URL:

   export ProxyUrl="https://domain.com/"

   Replace "https://domain.com/" with your actual proxy URL.

5. Build and run the project using the following commands:

   dotnet build
   dotnet run --project M3U8Proxy

   The M3U8 proxy should now be running locally, and you can access it as described earlier.

Configuration

The M3U8 proxy is configured by default to serve content from within the container. If you need to customize the proxy configuration, you can do so by modifying the appsettings.json file in your project and rebuilding the Docker image or recompiling the project.

Usage

Once the M3U8 proxy is running, you can use it to stream HLS files by making requests to the appropriate endpoints.

Cleanup

To stop and remove the M3U8 proxy container, use the following commands:

docker stop <container_id>
docker rm <container_id>

Replace <container_id> with the actual container ID or name.

---

These instructions should help users set up and run your M3U8 proxy project both with Docker and without Docker, while also specifying the requirement to set the ProxyUrl environment variable.
