Description

This is a Docker Container to record a livestream. It uses the official Alpine Image with the Tag latest, installs streamlink, and runs a modified version of the script streamlink-recorder.sh to periodically check if the stream is live.

Usage Example

docker-compose.yaml:

version: "3"
services:
  record:
   image: kjake/streamlink-recorder
   container_name: Streamlink-Recorder
   restart: unless-stopped
   volumes:
      - /volume1/docker/Twitch-recorder/urtwitchstreamer:/home/download
   environment:
      - streamName=urtwitchstreamer
      - streamLink=twitch.tv/urtwitchstreamer
      - streamQuality=best
      - streamOptions=--twitch-disable-hosting --twitch-disable-ads
      - streamPoll=60
      - uid=9001
      - gid=9001
      - TZ=Asia/Seoul

docker on cli:

docker run -d \
  --name='Streamlink-Recorder' \
  -e TZ='Asia/Seoul' \
  -e streamLink='twitch.tv/urtwitchstreamer' \
  -e streamName='urtwitchstreamer' \
  -e streamQuality='best' \
  -e streamOptions='--twitch-disable-hosting --twitch-disable-ads' \
  -e streamPoll=60 \
  -e gid=9001 \
  -e uid=9001 \
  -v /volume1/docker/Twitch-recorder/urtwitchstreamer:/home/download:rw \
  --restart=unless-stopped kjake/streamlink-recorder
