How to use

• For the simplest case, edit compose.yml to set a stream password, then run a container with this image:

docker-compose -f compose.yml up

How to test with OBS Studio and VLC

• Run a container with the command above

• Modify OBS config for authentication

• Open OBS Studio

• Click the "Settings" button

• Go to the "Stream" section

• In "Stream Type" select "Custom Streaming Server"

• In the "URL" enter the rtmp://<ip_of_host>/live replacing <ip_of_host> with the IP of the host in which the container is running. For example: rtmp://192.168.0.30/live

• In the "Stream key" use a name that will be used later in the client URL to display that specific stream. For example: test

• Append key=<password> to the "Stream key", where <password> matches what you defined in compose.yml. The full string should look like Test?key=p@ssw0rd

• Click the "OK" button

• In the section "Sources" click de "Add" button (+) and select a source (for example "Display Capture") and configure it as you need

• Click the "Start Streaming" button

• Open a VLC player (it also works in Raspberry Pi using omxplayer)

• Click in the "Media" menu

• Click in "Open Network Stream"

• Enter the URL from above as rtmp://<ip_of_host>/live/<key> replacing <ip_of_host> with the IP of the host in which the container is running and <key> with the key you created in OBS Studio. For example: rtmp://192.168.0.30/live/test

• Click "Play"

• Now VLC should start playing whatever you are transmitting from OBS Studio
