Owncast Owncast is a free and open source live video and web chat server for use with existing popular broadcasting software.
Deploy a fully managed Owncast on elest.io if you want automated backups, reverse proxy with SSL termination, firewall, automated OS & Software updates, and a team of Linux experts and open source enthusiasts to ensure your services are always safe, and functional.
You can deploy it easily with the following command:
git clone https://github.com/elestio-examples/owncast.git
Copy the .env file from tests folder to the project directory
cp ./tests/.env ./.env
Edit the .env file with your own values.
Run the project with the following command
docker-compose up -d
You can access the Web UI at: http://your-domain:5050
Here are some example snippets to help you get started creating a container.
version: '3.3'
services:
app:
image: elestio/owncast:latest
user: 0:0
restart: always
volumes:
- './data:/app/data'
ports:
- '172.17.0.1:5050:8080'
- '1935:1935'
The Elestio Owncast Docker image sends the container logs to stdout. To view the logs, you can use the following command:
docker-compose logs -f
To stop the stack you can use the following command:
docker-compose down
To make backup and restore operations easier, we are using folder volume mounts. You can simply stop your stack with docker-compose down, then backup all the files and subfolders in the folder near the docker-compose.yml file.
Creating a ZIP Archive For example, if you want to create a ZIP archive, navigate to the folder where you have your docker-compose.yml file and use this command:
zip -r myarchive.zip .
Restoring from ZIP Archive To restore from a ZIP archive, unzip the archive into the original folder using the following command:
unzip myarchive.zip -d /path/to/original/folder
Starting Your Stack Once your backup is complete, you can start your stack again with the following command:
docker-compose up -d
That's it! With these simple steps, you can easily backup and restore your data volumes using Docker Compose.
docker pull elestio/owncast
