This docker image installs and runs the AceStream Engine in Ubuntu and exposes the AceStream HTTP API.
As a result, you will be able to watch live AceStream sources without needing to install the AceStream player or similar dependencies locally.
This is especially useful for MacOS, Raspberry Pi's and XMBC users who want to tune in to AceStream channels.
Ensure you have docker installed and running. You can then pull down and run the container as shown below.
$ docker run -t -p 6878:6878 martinbjeldbak/acestream-http-proxyYou are then able to access live AceSream content by pointing your favorite media player (VLC, IINA, etc.) to the below network URL
http://127.0.0.1:6878/ace/getstream?id=dd1e67078381739d14beca697356ab76d49d1a2d
Where dd1e67078381739d14beca697356ab76d49d1a2d is the ID of the desired AceStream channel.
Ensure you have docker installed with support for docker-compose.
For convenience of easy image rebuilding, this repository contains a docker-compose.yml file. You can then build & run the image locally by running the following command
$ docker-compose up --build
