Applications
Ant Media Server Community Edition, the open source real time WebRTC and RTMP streaming engine, with a per VM admin password generated on first boot.
Overview
Ant Media Server is an open source real time streaming engine. It ingests video over WebRTC or RTMP and delivers it to viewers over WebRTC, HLS and DASH, with sub second latency streaming, adaptive bitrate, recording to MP4, IP camera and RTSP pull, and a full web management panel for creating streams, watching live viewer counts and configuring each streaming application.
This image packages the Community Edition, which is licensed under the Apache License 2.0. A standalone node uses an embedded datastore, so there is no MongoDB, Redis or other database to run or manage: the server, its REST API and the panel all run in one Java service. It suits developers and teams adding live video, webinars, low latency broadcasting, surveillance and interactive streaming to their own applications on infrastructure they control.
Why the cloudimg image
cloudimg delivers Ant Media Server Community Edition fully installed as a single node appliance, fronted by an nginx reverse proxy on port 80 so the management panel answers the moment the instance boots. The image is secure by default and ships with no administrator account at all: on the first boot of every instance a one shot service generates a password unique to that instance and creates the first admin through Ant Media's own first login flow, writing the credentials to a file only the root user can read, so no two instances built from the image share a login. Because the panel hashes passwords in the browser, the account is stored so the plaintext you type authenticates correctly. The JVM heap is tuned for the recommended size, the base is fully patched, and every deployment is paired with a step by step deploy guide and backed by 24/7 cloudimg support.
Common uses
- Self hosted live streaming with sub second latency WebRTC delivery
- Webinars, town halls and low latency interactive broadcasting
- Restreaming IP cameras and RTSP sources with recording to MP4
