⁠MistServer

MistServer is a streaming media server that works well in any streaming environment even on a Raspberry Pi! It bridges the gap between dedicated media servers and web servers, performing the best of both worlds when it comes to media streaming delivery.

The opensource version works best with HLS live streaming (gaming) and Open Broadcaster Software (OBS)! If you want more options such as VOD, buy a pro-license.

What makes this docker build better as the official one from DDTECH/MistServer?
It's more secure and because on docker stop it will gracefully shutdown your processes. It prevents data corruption and all config-files will be saved before shutting down.

⁠Usage

docker create --name=mistserver \   
--net=host \    
-v <path to config>:/config \   
-v <path to video>:/media \     
r0gger/mistserver   

Parameters

• --net=host - Recommended! You can change ports within Mistserver Protocols.
• -v <path to config>:/config - config and log files
• -v <path to video>:/media - video and audio files

Special note - If you'd like to run Mistserver without requiring --net=host (NOT recommended) then you will need the following ports in your docker create command:

• -p 4242 - Web UI
• -p 1935 - RTMP
• -p 554 - RTSP
• -p 8080 - HTTP / HLS
• -v /etc/localhost:ro - for timesync (read-only)

⁠Webinterface (first run --> step 2 and 3)

1. Webui: http://mydomain.tld:4242⁠ and enter a username/password.
2. Click on "Enable protocols" and change ports if necessary.
3. Enter a "Human readable name" and thick "Force JSON file save".

⁠Setup live streaming with RTMP

1. Go to Streams and click New stream.
2. Stream name: obs
3. Source: push:// or push://your-ip-address
4. Now go to Open Broadcaster Software and enter to FMS URL: rtmp://mydomain.tld:1935/live/ and Play Path: obs.
