Docker Image for RTMP streams using Nginx

Docker-nginx-rtmp

Docker image for an RTMP/HLS server running on nginx

• NGINX Version 1.21.1
• nginx-rtmp-module Version 1.2.2

Configurations

This image exposes port 1935 for RTMP Steams and has 2 default channels open "live" and "testing".

live (or your first stream name) is also accessable via HLS on port 8080

It also exposes 8080 so you can access http://:8080/stat to see the streaming statistics.

The configuration file is in /opt/nginx/conf/

Running

To run the container and bind the port 1935 to the host machine; run the following:

docker run -p 1935:1935 -p 8080:8080 jasonrivers/nginx-rtmp

Multiple Streams:

You can enable multiple streams on the container by setting RTMP_STREAM_NAMES when launching, This is a comma seperated list of names, E.G.

docker run      \
    -p 1935:1935        \
    -p 8080:8080        \
    -e RTMP_STREAM_NAMES=live,teststream1,teststream2   \
    jasonrivers/nginx-rtmp

Pushing streams

You can ush your main stream out to other RTMP servers, Currently this is limited to only the first stream in RTMP_STREAM_NAMES (default is live) by setting RTMP_PUSH_URLS when launching, This is a comma seperated list of URLS, EG:

docker run      \
    -p 1935:1935        \
    -p 8080:8080        \
    -e RTMP_PUSH_URLS=rtmp://live.youtube.com/myname/streamkey,rtmp://live.twitch.tv/app/streamkey
    jasonrivers/nginx-rtmp

OBS Configuration

Under broadcast settings, set the follwing parameters:

Streaming Service: Custom
Server: rtmp://<your server ip>/live
Play Path/Stream Key: mystream

Watching the steam

In your favorite RTMP video player connect to the stream using the URL: rtmp://<your server ip>/live/mystream http://<your server ip>/hls/mystream.m3u8

Tested players

• VLC
• omxplayer (Raspberry Pi)

docker-nginx-rtmp's Issues

Build Fails

Step 5/16 fails with this error:

ERROR: unsatisfiable constraints:
  binutils-libs (missing):
    required by: world[binutils-libs]

Update rtmp module

It seems the original rtmp module by arut is no longer being maintained. Sergey-dryabzhinsky has a fork of it that still seems to be active. Maybe the docker container can be updated to use that version?

Move to uklans repository

Move this work to uklans repository. I'd like to get #4 working first.

Getting a https stream

I have this running fine in VLC, it can use both the rtmp and the hls streams. I can't, however, get it to stream onto a html video player. Going by some posts I've found on StackExchange, this seems to be because the browser expects a https source, not a http one. How to I modify the container to get this?

I'm running the container inside docker-compose file with jwilder/nginx-proxy and jrcs/letsencrypt-nginx-proxy-companion

Enable RTMP push to youtube / twitch / etc

We need an option when starting the container to enable pushing the stream to youtube / twitch / etc.

Docker Image stuck at 'Starting Server'

Hello,

We are trying to create the nginx-rtmp server and our linux machine keeps getting stuck at this spot. Do you have any ideas to resolve this?

Live Transcoding

Would it be possible for this to have optional transcoding also? or would you happen to know a container that already does this or a way to do this.

Error on build local

I give this error:

How to reverse proxy?

Hi,

Wanted to give it a try and it works well with IP but I was wondering how to reverse-proxy this so as to use rtmp://stream.domain.tld/live/key

I tried to reverse 1935 and/or 8080 without success.

Thanks,

is it possible to test rtmp streamkey youtube before pushing it ?

add new facebook RTMPS functionality

since facebook deprecating rtmp to rtmps can this repo support rtmps ?

Multiple Containers with Different ports

I'n not sure if this is possible with nginx or not, but is it possible to have multiple containers running with different ports? Basically I need a way to add and destroy multiple streams on the fly. Currently, I just create a single container with multiple streams, but this isn't going to work in the long run since I need to be able to add and remove streams on the fly.

HLS not working

Instead of the server name "live" I am using a random string for security. Here is an example:
rtmp://167.99.233.17:6541/5af856b407e6a/stream

The issue I am running into is that HLS doesnt seem to me working:
http://167.99.233.17:7934/hls/stream.m3u8

Am I doing something wrong here? Seems like I'm getting a 404.

Note: The ports are correct, I generate them randomly as a create/delete streams.

OBS Configuration - broadcast settings

Hi,

in witch file/ location I have to put the broadcast settings? In nginx.config I can´t find anthing...

I want to include an ip cam stream:
rtmp://192.168.1.193/bcs/channel0_main.bcs?channel=0

Thanks a lot!

adjust config to listen to ipv6

it looks like nginx currently isnt listening to ipv6

adding the [::] listening address solves this issue.

server {
    listen          8080;
    listen          [::]:8080;

...

having both listen configs in the file allows the server to be called on its ipv4 as on ipv6 addresses

Nothing on stat page

I run the docker with command docker run –rm -it -h docker -p 80:8080 -p 1935:1935 jasonrivers/nginx-rtmp

When I visit http://localhost/stat，it show a blank page without anything.

I read the nginx.conf, file /opt/nginx/conf/stat.xsl doesn't exist.

Anyone can tell me the reason?

HLS stream has great delay

Config rewrite on restart

Everytime I restart the docker, nginx.conf is replaced. Can this be altered to not do that?

Stream Key

Is there anyway to customize a stream key?

Create a new stream while it is running?

Is there a way to create a new stream while the container is running?

Why my nginx-rtmp docker image cannot work

I use the following command to build a docker:

docker build -t  nginx-rtmp:latest .

And after it is built successfully, the size only has 16.9MB, but the docker image pulled from your docker hub has 20.6MB, then I use the following command to start the image:

docker run -p 1935:1935 -p 8080:8080   -e RTMP_STREAM_NAMES=test1,test2   nginx-rtmp

the following error happens:

nginx: [emerg] the same path name "/tmp/hls" used in /opt/nginx/conf/nginx.conf:70 and in /opt/nginx/conf/nginx.conf:70

Enable CORS for HLS

Sorry for all of the issues. Is it possible to enable CORS automatically with each container?
