dimahkiin/video_server repository overview

⁠video_server

Re-streams RTSP cameras to browsers over MSE (WebSocket) and HLS. Sources are pulled on demand, so a camera is connected only while somebody is watching it. Optionally records MP4 segments to the filesystem or S3/MinIO.

Source code and full documentation: https://github.com/LdDl/video-server⁠

⁠Configuration

The server does not read environment variables, so a configuration file has to be mounted into the container. Both servers must listen on 0.0.0.0 inside it, otherwise the published ports stay unreachable:

[api]
host = "0.0.0.0"
port = 8091

[video]
host = "0.0.0.0"
port = 8090

[on_demand]
enabled = true
idle_ms = 30000
health_check = true
