texastribune/sputnik repository overview

⁠Teradek Sputnik

This runs the server component for Teradek's Bond video transmitters.

⁠Usage

Here are some examples of how you could use this image. For more, see the makefile.

⁠Starting a Sputnik server

docker run -p 5111:5111 -p 1957:1957 -p 554:554 --detach --name sputnik \
  texastribune/sputnik

⁠View the logs on a running server

You can do this two ways. You can just attach to the server:

docker attach --sig-proxy=false sputnik

Or you can mount the logs in a utility container:

docker run --rm -i -t --name debug --link sputnik:sputnik --volumes-from sputnik ubuntu
$ tail -f /var/log/sputnik*.log

⁠Use your own Sputnik configuration

1. Get the default Sputnik configuration. Skip this if you already have some config files.

    # assuming you want it copied to ~/volumes/sputnik and it already exists
    docker run --detach --name sputnik-tmp texastribune/sputnik
    docker cp sputnik-tmp:data/conf ~/volumes/sputnik
    docker rm -f sputnik-tmp
   

   Copy

2. Run Sputnik using this configuration:

    docker run -p 5111:5111 -p 1957:1957 -p 554:554 --detach --name sputnik \
      -v ~/volumes/sputnik:/data texastribune/sputnik
   

   Copy

3. Changes saved in the Sputnik admin will persist to your configs. You won't need to edit them yourself under normal circumstances. NOTE: Depending on how you run Sputnik, you should either edit ports in the config and use --net=host, or avoid editing ports and configure ports using Docker's port publishing.

4. Some suggested changes are: change admin and guest passwords, enable the stream monitor, and change the upload folder to /data/upload.
