Based on this repo https://github.com/brocaar/nginx-rtmp-dockerfile.
This Dockerfile installs NGINX configured with nginx-ts-module, ffmpeg
and some default settings for HLS live streaming.
-
Build and run the container (
docker build -t nginx_ts .&docker run -d -p 8080:8080 --rm nginx_ts). -
Stream your live content to
http://127.0.0.1:8080/publish/stream_namewherestream_nameis the name of your stream. E.g. broadcasting a single-bitrate mp4 file:
ffmpeg -re -i ~/Movies/sintel.mp4 -bsf:v h264_mp4toannexb
-c copy -f mpegts http://127.0.0.1:8080/publish/sintel
Broadcasting an mp4 file in multiple bitrates. For proper HLS generation streams should be grouped into MPEG-TS programs with the -program option of ffmpeg:
ffmpeg -re -i ~/Movies/sintel.mp4 -bsf:v h264_mp4toannexb
-map 0:0 -map 0:1 -map 0:0 -map 0:1
-c:v:0 copy
-c:a:0 copy
-c:v:1 libx264 -b:v:1 100k
-c:a:1 libfaac -ac:a:1 1 -b:a:1 32k
-program "st=0:st=1" -program "st=2:st=3"
-f mpegts http://127.0.0.1:8080/publish/sintel
- In Safari, VLC or any HLS compatible browser / player, open
http://127.0.0.1:8080/publish/stream_name/index.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.
