Nginx Streaming Server

This repository contains the configuration files and setup instructions for running an Nginx streaming server using Docker.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure you have Docker installed on your system.

Setup Instructions

Clone this repository to your local machine:
```
git clone <repository-url>
```
Navigate to the cloned directory:
```
cd nginx-streaming-server
```
Customize the nginx.conf file according to your requirements. This file contains the Nginx configuration for the streaming server.
Build the Docker container:
```
docker-compose up --build
```
Once the container is up and running, you can start streaming to it.

Configuration Details

Nginx Configuration

The nginx.conf file contains the following configuration:

worker_processes auto;

events { 
    worker_connections 1024;
}

rtmp {
    server{
        listen 1935;

        application live {
            live on;
            record off;
            hls on;
            hls_path /hls/live;
            hls_fragment 3;
        }
    }
}

http {
    server {
        listen 8081;

        location /live{
            types {
                application/vnd.apple.mpegurl m3u8;
                video/mp2t;
            }

            root /hls;
        }
    }
}

Docker Configuration

The docker-compose.yml file defines the Docker service for Nginx with the following specifications:

services:
  nginx:
    image: tiangolo/nginx-rtmp:latest
    volumes:
      - ./nginx.conf:/etc/nginx/nginx.conf
      - /stream:/hls/live
    ports:
      - "1935:1935"
      - "8081:8081"

This configuration exposes ports 1935 for RTMP streaming and 8081 for HTTP streaming.

Streaming Configuration

RTMP streaming is configured to listen on port 1935 with the live application enabled.
HLS streaming is enabled with a fragment duration of 3 seconds.
HTTP streaming is configured to listen on port 8081 and serves HLS streams from the /hls directory.

Usage

Once the Nginx server is up and running, you can start streaming your content to it.

For RTMP streaming, use the configured RTMP URL and key in your streaming software.

For HTTP streaming, access the HLS stream via the provided URL.
