Forked from: gh:alfg/docker-nginx-rtmp

docker-nginx-rtmp

A Dockerfile installing NGINX, nginx-rtmp-module and FFmpeg from source with default settings for HLS live streaming. Built on Alpine Linux.

• Nginx 1.14.1 (compiled from source)
• nginx-rtmp-module 1.2.1 (compiled from source)
• ffmpeg 4.1 (compiled from source)
• Default HLS settings (See: nginx.conf)

Usage

Server

• Pull docker image and run:

  docker pull alfg/nginx-rtmp
  docker run -it -p 1935:1935 -p 8080:80 --rm alfg/nginx-rtmp
  

  or

• Build and run container from source:

  docker build -t nginx-rtmp .
  docker run -it -p 1935:1935 -p 8080:80 --rm nginx-rtmp
  

• Stream live content to:

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

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.

I recommend using Certbot from Let’s Encrypt.

OBS Configuration
