Wow!

Simple 1-minute-setup docker-compose thingy that offers a part of Wowzas core functionallity (and some premium features):

  • Accepts Ingested streams via rtmp
  • Encodes streams into multiple bitrate versions
  • Outputs streams via hls
    • Including DVR (seekable stream)

Usage

  • Step 0: get docker and docker compose.
  • Step 1
docker-compose build
docker-compose up -d

That's it. Your server is running. You can now

  • Step 2: Create a user:

at http://localhost:8081 you can create a streamer. Once you did this, copy their key

  • Step 3: ingest a stream:

This will create an adaptive stream (be carefull about your cpu though, this can get nasty):

# be a little more creative, especially if you are unsure about your input (you should go for flv or h.264 with some reasonable encoding settings)
ffmpeg -re -i my_video.mp4 -f -flv rtmp://localhost/live1/streamName?key=1234xxx

This stream is not recoded, saving you tons of cpu capacity and making your viewers sad:

ffmpeg -re -i my_video -f -flv rtmp://localhost/live2/streamName?key=1234xxx
  • Play your stream:

The stream will wait for you at http://localhost:8080/hls/streamName.m3u8

todo

If this project will ever get some love, features could be:

  • Web interface to create authenticated streamers, all others can be rejected.
  • Reduce latency/fine-tune ffmpeg
  • Rotate/remove old hls segments
  • Make it Scalable™
    • Step 1: Multiple output nodes with docker/k8s orchestration in mind
    • Step 2: Multiple input/transcoding nodes
