docker-nginx-rtmp

A Dockerfile installing NGINX, nginx-rtmp-module and FFmpeg from source with default settings for HLS live streaming. Built on Alpine Linux.

Nginx 1.18.0 (Stable version compiled from source)
nginx-rtmp-module 1.2.1 (compiled from source)
ffmpeg 4.3.1 (compiled from source)
Default HLS settings (See: nginx.conf)

Usage

Server

Pull docker image and run:

docker pull alfg/nginx-rtmp
docker run -it -p 1935:1935 -p 8080:80 --rm alfg/nginx-rtmp

Build and run container from source:

docker build -t nginx-rtmp .
docker run -it -p 1935:1935 -p 8080:80 --rm nginx-rtmp

Stream live content to:

rtmp://<server ip>:1935/stream/$STREAM_NAME

SSL

To enable SSL, see nginx.conf and uncomment the lines:

listen 443 ssl;
ssl_certificate     /opt/certs/example.com.crt;
ssl_certificate_key /opt/certs/example.com.key;

This will enable HTTPS using a self-signed certificate supplied in /certs. If you wish to use HTTPS, it is highly recommended to obtain your own certificates and update the ssl_certificate and ssl_certificate_key paths.

I recommend using Certbot from Let's Encrypt.

Environment Variables

This Docker image uses envsubst for environment variable substitution. You can define additional environment variables in nginx.conf as ${var} and pass them in your docker-compose file or docker command.

Custom `nginx.conf`

If you wish to use your own nginx.conf, mount it as a volume in your docker-compose or docker command as nginx.conf.template:

volumes:
  - ./nginx.conf:/etc/nginx/nginx.conf.template
