RTMP-HLS Docker
Docker image for video streaming server that supports RTMP, HLS, and DASH streams.
Description
This Docker image can be used to create a video streaming server that supports RTMP, HLS, DASH out of the box. It also allows adaptive streaming and custom transcoding of video streams. All modules are built from source on Debian and Alpine Linux base images.
Features
- The backend is Nginx with nginx-rtmp-module.
- FFmpeg for transcoding and adaptive streaming.
- Default settings:
- RTMP is ON
- HLS is ON (adaptive, 5 variants)
- DASH is ON
- Other Nginx configuration files are also provided to allow for RTMP-only streams or no-FFmpeg transcoding.
- Statistic page of RTMP streams at
http://<server ip>:<server port>/stats
. - Available web video players (based on video.js and hls.js) at
/usr/local/nginx/html/players
.
Current Image is built using:
- Nginx 1.17.5 (compiled from source)
- Nginx-rtmp-module 1.2.1 (compiled from source)
- FFmpeg 4.2.1 (compiled from source)
This image was inspired by similar docker images from tiangolo and alfg. It has small build size, adds support for HTTP-based streams and adaptive streaming using FFmpeg.
Usage
To run the server
docker run -d -p 1935:1935 -p 8080:8080 alqutami/rtmp-hls
For Alpine-based Image use:
docker run -d -p 1935:1935 -p 8080:8080 alqutami/rtmp-hls:latest-alpine
To run with custom conf file:
docker run -d -p 1935:1935 -p 8080:8080 -v custom.conf:/etc/nginx/nginx.conf alqutami/rtmp-hls
where custom.conf
is the new conf file for Nginx.
To stream to the server
-
Stream live RTMP content to:
rtmp://<server ip>:1935/live/<stream_key>
where
<stream_key>
is any stream key you specify. -
Configure OBS to stream content:
Go to Settings > Stream, choose the following settings:- Service: Custom Streaming Server.
- Server:
rtmp://<server ip>:1935/live
. - Stream key: anything you want, however provided video players assume stream key is
test
To view the stream
-
Using VLC:
- Go to Media > Open Network Stream.
- Enter the streaming URL:
rtmp://<server ip>:1935/live/<stream-key>
Replace<server ip>
with the IP of where the server is running, and<stream-key>
with the stream key you used when setting up the stream. - For HLS and DASH, the URLs are of the forms:
http://<server ip>:8080/hls/<stream-key>.m3u8
andhttp://<server ip>:8080/dash/<stream-key>_src.mpd
respectively. - Click Play.
-
Using provided web players:
The provided demo players assume the stream-key is calledtest
and the player is opened in localhost.- To play RTMP content (requires Flash):
http://localhost:8080/players/rtmp.html
- To play HLS content:
http://localhost:8080/players/hls.html
- To play HLS content using hls.js library:
http://localhost:8080/players/hls_hlsjs.html
- To play DASH content:
http://localhost:8080/players/dash.html
- To play RTMP and HLS contents on the same page:
http://localhost:8080/players/rtmp_hls.html
Notes:
- These web players are hardcoded to play stream key "test" at localhost.
- To change the stream source for these players. Download the html files and modify the
src
attribute in the video tag in the html file. You can then mount the modified files to the container as follows:
wheredocker run -d -p 1935:1935 -p 8080:8080 -v custom_players:/usr/local/nginx/html/players alqutami/rtmp-hls
custom_players
is the directory holding the modified html files.
