Overview
Node-Media-Server is a lightweight open source live media streaming server. It ingests an RTMP feed from any publisher and republishes it in real time as HTTP-FLV, WebSocket-FLV and HLS for low latency playback in browsers and native players, with a JSON admin API for live stream statistics. This cloudimg image delivers it fully installed and secured so a working ingest and playback endpoint is operational within minutes of launch.
Why the cloudimg image
Upstream ships with no authentication at all. This cloudimg image enables admin API, publish and play authentication and generates two independent per-instance secrets on first boot: an admin API credential and a stream signing secret every publish and playback URL must be signed with. No shared or default credentials exist and nothing is baked in, the server refuses to start in the insecure open mode, and every deployment includes bundled ffmpeg, signing and self test helper tools plus 24/7 cloudimg support.
Common uses
- Stand up a low latency RTMP ingest and HTTP-FLV or HLS playback endpoint for a live event or broadcast
- Give an OBS or ffmpeg publisher a secured, signed streaming target without hand rolling a media server
- Embed a self hosted live video pipeline behind your own application, CDN or reverse proxy
