slowprog/nimble repository overview

⁠Nimble Streamer

This container provides a Nimble⁠ Streamer listening on ports 8081 (http) and 1935 (RTMP) and 8082 (managment port)

Nimble is "freemium" software, it is freely distributed but must be managed through the WMSPanel Portal⁠. You will need to get an account to be able to use this application.

⁠Usage

From Docker registry:

docker pull slowprog/nimble

Or build yourself:

git clone https://github.com/slowprog/docker-nimble.git
docker build --rm -t slowprog/nimble docker-nimble

Running the image:

docker run --rm -p 8081:8081 -p 1935:1935 -p 8082:8082 \
    -h instance-hostname \
    -e [email protected] \
    -e WMSPANEL_PASS=your_password  \
    -e WMSPANEL_TOKEN=your_token \
    --name nimble slowprog/nimble

⁠Configuration

All configuration is managed through the WMSPanel portal. The first time you run the container, you must provide your portal credentials to have the server register itself. You provide the credentials through the following environment variables:

• WMSPANEL_USER: WMSPanel portal username, e.g. [email protected]⁠
• WMSPANEL_PASS: WMSPanel password.
• WMSPANEL_SLICES: Optional, list of slices to register this server to.
• WMSPANEL_TOKEN: Optional, WMSPanel token for 8082 port control

The container registers the server and stores all configuration settings under /etc/nimble/. You may want to have that path mounted from an external volume.

Once /etc/nimble/nimble.conf is populated with the right account and key data, you no longer need to provide the username and password as environment variables to the container.

If you change your username and/or password, and need to register the server again, you should remove the /etc/nimble/nimble.conf file and restart the container, providing the new user and pass.

⁠Volumes

You may want to mount to external volumes to the following paths:

• /etc/nimble: This is the configuration folder. It is bootstrapped the first time you run the container with a WMSPanel username and password.
• /var/cache/nimble: This is used to save temporary files and stats.

The ownership of both paths is changed to the user nimble before starting the service.

⁠Ports

The container exposes ports 8081 (HTTP) and 1935 (RTMP) and 8082 (control)
