NGINX RTMP Dockerfile

Based on this repo https://github.com/brocaar/nginx-rtmp-dockerfile.

This Dockerfile installs NGINX configured with nginx-rtmp-module, ffmpeg and some default settings for HLS live streaming.

How to use

  1. Build and run the container (docker build -t nginx_rtmp . & docker run -d -p 8080:8080 -p 1935:1935 nginx_rtmp).

  2. Stream your live content to rtmp://localhost:1935/hls/stream_name where stream_name is the name of your stream. E.g. broadcasting an avi file:

ffmpeg -loglevel verbose -re -i movie.avi  -vcodec libx264 \
      -vprofile baseline -acodec libmp3lame -ar 44100 -ac 1 \
      -f flv rtmp://localhost:1935/hls/movie
  1. In Safari, VLC or any HLS compatible browser / player, open http://localhost:8080/hls/stream_name.m3u8. Note that the first time, it might take a few (10-15) seconds before the stream works. This is because when you start streaming to the server, it needs to generate the first segments and the related playlists.

HLS in HTML:

<body>
  <video width="640" height="480" controls autoplay
         src="http://localhost:8080/hls/stream_name.m3u8">
  </video>
</body>

MPEG-DASH in HTML using the dash.js player:

<script src="http://cdn.dashjs.org/latest/dash.all.min.js"></script>

<body>
  <video data-dashjs-player
         width="640" height="480" controls autoplay
         src="http://localhost:8080/hls/stream_name.m3u8">
  </video>
</body>
