restreamio/gstreamer repository overview

⁠docker-gstreamer GitHub repo⁠

Ubuntu 21.04-based container images with upstream GStreamer and plugins pre-installed

Following components are present:

• GStreamer
• gst-plugins-base
• gst-plugins-good
• gst-plugins-bad (with msdk)
• gst-plugins-ugly

GStreamer and components are tracking upstream master branches (with minor fixes on top) and are usually updated a few times a month. There are also builds of stable upstream releases available as well.

Base OS is Ubuntu 21.04.

⁠Builds on Docker Hub

Builds use Restream-specific patches by default, but there are also vanilla upstream builds available.

There are 4 kinds of images pushed to Docker Hub:

• restreamio/gstreamer:latest-dev-with-source - includes unoptimized build with debug symbols and even source code it was built with
• restreamio/gstreamer:latest-dev - same as above, but without source code for development purposes
• restreamio/gstreamer:latest-prod - optimized (-O3 and LTO) build without debug symbols for production purposes
• restreamio/gstreamer:latest-prod-dbg - optimized (-O2 only) build with debug symbols included for production purposes with better debugging experience

There are also above tags prefixed with build date for stable reference.

Finally, starting with 1.18.1 there are also vanilla builds using stable upstream releases with no patches applied, whose tags you can also find on Docker Hub. Stable released have 2 tags:

• regular like 1.18.1 that is a latest build of that upstream release
• stable reference with one more number after regular major.minor.patch that starts with 0 and is incremented if there are multiple builds for the same upstream stable version (like 1.18.1.0)
