Getting Started

Clone this repo!

There is a Terraform configuration for deploying this infrastructure on DigitalOcean.

First, edit ansible/site.yml and update all the variables like <your ...variable_here>.

You will also need to modify some variables in terraform/terraform.tfvars, and then from within the terraform directory, just run:

At the end of the Terraform deployment (might take 10-15 minutes), you will have a full self-hosted live video streaming platform with your own RTMP ingest and playback endpoints.

Happy Streaming!

Help Wanted!

I put this stack together about a year ago and haven't been able to push much further on it.

Ideally it could be deployed in Docker (I don't know anything about Docker or Kubernetes). The nginx and Django stuff seems like it could be pretty easy to containerize.

Help me package this up! We more federated live-streaming platforms! It just always be Twitch.tv, YouTube, and Facebook!
