Docker image for video streaming server that supports RTMP and HLS and streams.

This Docker image can be used to create a video streaming server that supports RTMP Ingest and HLS delivery out of the box. It also allows live recording and transmuxing to mp4 format of video streams. All modules are built from source on Debian and Alpine Linux base images.

• The backend is Nginx with nginx-rtmp-module.
• FFmpeg for live recording and transmuxing
• Default settings:
  • RTMP is ON
  • HLS is ON
• Statistic page of RTMP streams at http://:/stats.

Current Image is built using:

• Nginx 1.21.3 (compiled from source)
• Nginx-rtmp-module 1.2.2 (compiled from source)
• FFmpeg 4.4 (compiled from source)

This image was inspired by similar docker images from tiangolo and alfg. It has small build size, adds support for HTTP-based streams and adaptive streaming using FFmpeg.
