# RTMP-HLS Docker
**BASED ON** [TareqAlqutami/rtmp-hls-server](https://github.com/TareqAlqutami/rtmp-hls-server)
**Docker image for video streaming server that supports RTMP, HLS, and DASH streams.**
## Description
This Docker image can be used to create a video streaming server that supports [**RTMP**](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real-Time_Messaging_Protocol), [**HLS**](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_Live_Streaming), [**DASH**](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_Adaptive_Streaming_over_HTTP) out of the box.
It also allows adaptive streaming and custom transcoding of video streams.
All modules are built from source on Debian and Alpine Linux base images.
## Features
* The backend is [**Nginx**](http://nginx.org/en/) with [**nginx-rtmp-module**](https://github.com/arut/nginx-rtmp-module).
* [**FFmpeg**](https://www.ffmpeg.org/) for transcoding and adaptive streaming.
* Default settings:
* RTMP is ON
* HLS is ON (adaptive, 5 variants)
* DASH is ON
* Other Nginx configuration files are also provided to allow for RTMP-only streams or no-FFmpeg transcoding.
* Statistic page of RTMP streams at `http://<server ip>:<server port>/stats`.
* Available web video players (based on [video.js](https://videojs.com/) and [hls.js](https://github.com/video-dev/hls.js/)) at `/usr/share/nginx/html/players`.
## Usage
### To run the server
```
docker run -d -p 1935:1935 -p 8080:8080 epicmorg/balancer:rtmp-hls
```
To run with custom conf file:
```
docker run -d -p 1935:1935 -p 8080:8080 -v custom.conf:/etc/nginx/nginx.conf epicmorg/balancer:rtmp-hls
```
where `custom.conf` is the new conf file for Nginx.
### To stream to the server
* **Stream live RTMP content to:**
```
rtmp://<server ip>:1935/live/<stream_key>
```
where `<stream_key>` is any stream key you specify.
* **Configure [OBS](https://obsproject.com/) to stream content:** <br />
Go to Settings > Stream, choose the following settings:
* Service: Custom Streaming Server.
* Server: `rtmp://<server ip>:1935/live`.
* Stream key: anything you want, however provided video players assume stream key is `test`
### To view the stream
* **Using [VLC](https://www.videolan.org/vlc/index.html):**
* Go to Media > Open Network Stream.
* Enter the streaming URL: `rtmp://<server ip>:1935/live/<stream-key>`
Replace `<server ip>` with the IP of where the server is running, and
`<stream-key>` with the stream key you used when setting up the stream.
* For HLS and DASH, the URLs are of the forms:
`http://<server ip>:8080/hls/<stream-key>.m3u8` and
`http://<server ip>:8080/dash/<stream-key>_src.mpd` respectively.
* Click Play.
* **Using provided web players:** <br/>
The provided demo players assume the stream-key is called `test` and the player is opened in localhost.
* To play RTMP content (requires Flash): `http://localhost:8080/players/rtmp.html`
* To play HLS content: `http://localhost:8080/players/hls.html`
* To play HLS content using hls.js library: `http://localhost:8080/players/hls_hlsjs.html`
* To play DASH content: `http://localhost:8080/players/dash.html`
* To play RTMP and HLS contents on the same page: `http://localhost:8080/players/rtmp_hls.html`
**Notes:**
* These web players are hardcoded to play stream key "test" at localhost.
* To change the stream source for these players. Download the html files and modify the `src` attribute in the video tag in the html file. You can then mount the modified files to the container as follows:
```
docker run -d -p 1935:1935 -p 8080:8080 -v custom_players:/usr/share/nginx/html/players epicmorg/balancer:rtmp-hls
```
where `custom_players` is the directory holding the modified html files.
