nginx-rtmp-docker

Docker image with NGINX using the nginx-rtmp-module module for live multimedia (video) streaming.

Description

This image can be used to create an RTMP server for multimedia / video streaming using NGINX and nginx-rtmp-module, compiled from the latest sources (NGINX 1.21.6 and nginx-rtmp-module 1.2.2).

This repository is a fork of tiangolo/nginx-rtmp-docker with multi-arch support and a vastly smaller image (over 800mb smaller).

Supported Architectures

This image currently targets the following architectures:

linux/amd64
linux/arm64

If you wish to add support for additional architectures, please submit a pull request!

Example Usage

For the simplest case, just run a container with this image:

docker run -d -p 1935:1935 skyefuzz/nginx-rtmp

Configuration

The default configuration is as follows:

worker_processes auto;
rtmp_auto_push on;
events {}
rtmp {
    server {
        listen 1935;
        listen [::]:1935 ipv6only=on;

        application live {
            live on;
            record off;
        }
    }
}

http {
    server {
        listen 80;
        listen [::]:80 ipv6only=on;

        location / {
            rtmp_stat all;
        }
    }
}

You can specify custom configuration for the RTMP server by either

Mounting a custom config file at /etc/nginx/nginx.conf
Creating a Dockerfile and copying a config file to /etc/nginx/nginx.conf

The nginx-rtmp-module documentation provides a list of directives you can use in your configuration, as well as a couple of helpful examples.

Using a Dockerfile

FROM skyefuzz/nginx-rtmp
COPY nginx.conf /etc/nginx/nginx.conf

Using volume mounts

docker run -d -p 1935:1935 -v ./nginx.conf:/etc/nginx/nginx.conf skyefuzz/nginx-rtmp

Technical details

This image is based on the alpine image, allowing it to be less than 10mb in size when compressed.
The image is built from the official sources of NGINX and nginx-rtmp-module without any unnecessary dependencies.
