A self-contained, sandboxed container image that will build and install OBS and some of its plugins.

TL;DR: build and install latest version under /usr/local:

# build the builder image:
make

# build latest OBS Studio using the builder image:
docker run -it --rm \
  -v /usr/local:/out \
    build-obs

The source code for this image can be found at juchem/build-obs.

Choose the version to build by setting environment variable OBS_STUDIO_VERSION. Defaults to HEAD for bleeding edge

Choose the obs-browser CEF framework to use by setting environment variable OBS_CEF_VERSION.

The following plugins are omitted by default but can be build by setting a version variable:

• Shader Filter: OBS_SHADERFILTER_VERSION

Binaries will be installed into the container's directory /out. Mount that directory with -v host_dir:/out to install it into some host directory.

Customize the base installation directory by setting the environment variable PREFIX_DIR. Defaults to /usr/local.

Example: install OBS Studio 30.2.3 with Shader Filter plugin 2.3.2 under ~/opt:

OUT_DIR="$HOME/opt"
mkdir -p "${OUT_DIR}"
docker run -it --rm \
    -v "${OUT_DIR}:/out" \
    -e "OBS_STUDIO_VERSION=30.2.3" \
    -e "OBS_SHADERFILTER_VERSION=2.3.2" \
    build-obs
