Run container with local storage:

docker run --rm -it \
-p 1935:1935 \
-p 8080:80 \
ghcr.io/codions/docker-stream-server/docker-stream-server:latest

Run container with S3 storage:

docker run --rm --privileged -it \
-e FILESYSTEM=s3
-e AWS_S3_URL=${AWS_S3_URL} \
-e AWS_S3_REGION=${AWS_S3_REGION} \
-e AWS_S3_BUCKET_NAME=${AWS_S3_BUCKET_NAME} \
-e AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=${AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID} \
-e AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=${AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY} \

ghcr.io/codions/docker-stream-server/docker-stream-server:latest

Stream live content to:

rtmp://<server ip>:1935/stream/$STREAM_NAME

OBS Configuration

• Stream Type: Custom Streaming Server
• URL: rtmp://localhost:1935/stream
• Example Stream Key: hello

Watch Stream using AWS and CloudFront

Access by using your S3 public URL.

For example https://your-s3-bucket.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/hls/hello.m3u8

or you can set your cloudfront (cache disabled) distribution then based on your S3

Don't forget to set public access and enable CORS in your s3 bucket

Watch Stream using Local Storage

• Load up the example hls.js player in your browser:

http://localhost:8080/player.html?url=http://localhost:8080/live/hello.m3u8

• Or in Safari, VLC or any HLS player, open:

http://localhost:8080/live/$STREAM_NAME.m3u8

• Example Playlist: http://localhost:8080/live/hello.m3u8
• HLS.js Player
• FFplay: ffplay -fflags nobuffer rtmp://localhost:1935/stream/hello

SSL

To enable SSL, see nginx.conf and uncomment the lines:

listen 443 ssl;
ssl_certificate     /opt/certs/example.com.crt;
ssl_certificate_key /opt/certs/example.com.key;

This will enable HTTPS using a self-signed certificate supplied in /certs. If you wish to use HTTPS, it is highly recommended to obtain your own certificates and update the ssl_certificate and ssl_certificate_key paths.
