Envek / dockerized-browser-streamer

Stream video of any website (but WebRTC things works best) to RTMP endpoint. Launch it in Docker. Pray if it works.

Streaming websites from dockerized browser

Based on this example: https://github.com/aws-samples/amazon-chime-sdk-recording-demo

Description: https://medium.com/@afrimadonidinata/setup-online-meeting-recording-with-aws-chime-sdk-60c6e1f360c4

How it works

1. Launches Xvfb–virtual display
2. Launches PulseAudio–audio server
3. Launches Firefox and points it into some website (specified by MEETING_URL environment variable)
4. Launches FFMpeg which captures video from virtual display and sound from virtual sink and streams it into RTMP endpoint (specified by RTMP_URL environment variable)

Building

docker build . -t webrtc-streamer

Running

docker run -it --rm \
  --env "MEETING_URL=https://v3demo.mediasoup.org/?roomId=vviqj99m" \
  --env "RTMP_URL=rtmp://user:[e-mail]:1935/live/testStream" \
  -v $(pwd):/home/user/app \
  -p 5900:5900 \
  webrtc-streamer

Debugging

Watch virtual framebuffer contents with VNC:

vncviewer -encodings 'copyrect tight zrle hextile' 127.0.0.1:5900

In Firefox you can open devtools with Ctrl+Shift+I, also you can open new tab with Ctrl+T and enter about:webrtc in it.
