Motivation

I was thinking about stream couple of video files to Facebook. After some googling, I came across this tutorial to compile FFmpeg in a way that facebook's RTMP will accept.

The bad news was, some ubuntu-based dependencies are among the tutorial requirements and this is where Docker came into play!

Stream

• If you're a fan of having a single configuration file to launch the whole experiment, your docker-compose.yml file would look like this:

version: '3.7' services: ffmpeg2rtmp: image: docker.pkg.github.com/yoga1290/ffmpeg2rtmp/ffmpeg2rtmp:20.06.0 environment: - URL_RTMPS=rtmps://live-api-s.facebook.com:443/rtmp/.... volumes: - ./LOCAL_VIDEO_FILE.mp4:/usr/app/input.mp4 #command: # otherwise, override the runtime command for your own needs 

• Otherwise, if it's one time run, your implicit command would be:

docker run \ --rm \ -e URL_RTMPS=$FACEBOOK_URL_RTMPS \ -v $PATH_TO_VIDEO_FILE:/usr/app/input.mp4 \ docker.pkg.github.com/yoga1290/ffmpeg2rtmp/ffmpeg2rtmp:20.06.0 #[COMMAND] [ARG...]
