NGINX RTMP Dockerfile

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

Note: in the current state, this is just an experimental project to play with RTMP and HLS.

How to use

1. Build and run the container (docker build -t nginx_rtmp . & docker run -p 80:80 -p 1935:1935 -p 8080:8080 --rm nginx_rtmp).

2. Stream your live content to rtmp://<ip>:1935/encoder/stream_name where stream_name is the name of your stream.

3. In Safari, VLC or any HLS compatible browser / player, open http://<ip>:8080/hls/stream_name.m3u8. This gives the submitted stream.

4. A random stream has been autmatically added for ingest and delivery. It can be accessed at http://<ip>:8080/dash/stream.m3u8 Integrated player using hls.js can play hls in chrome at http://<ip>/static/player.html

5. Server statistics are exposed at http://<ip>/stat
