• MongoDB
• RabbitMQ (celery backend)

Installation steps:

Manual installation

git clone https://github.com/superdesk/video-server-app.git
cd video-server-app/
pip install -r requirements.txt
honcho start

❗
Using Gunicorn is not required, you can use any WSGI HTTP Server.
Using Honcho is not required, you can run processes listed in Procfile with another tool (e.g. Supervisor).

Run with docker

docker-compose

git clone https://github.com/superdesk/video-server-app.git
docker-compose up -d

❗
When running with docker compose, services listed above such as FFmpeg, MongoDB, rabbitMQ are not required on the host.

standalone video server container

If you prefer to run only a video server container and connect it to already running on localhost MongoDB and RabbitMQ, you can use next commands:

git clone https://github.com/superdesk/video-server-app.git
cd video-server-app/
# build an image
docker build -t <image-name> .
# run a container using "host" network mode
docker run -d --network host --name <container-name> <image-name>

Method described above will work only on Linux hosts, and is not supported on Docker Desktop for Mac, Docker Desktop for Windows, or Docker EE for Windows Server. As an option you can use links or network to conntect your containers.
