What it is AI-extracted, prompt v1, taxonomy v1, 2026-08-30, confidence not recorded
A Docker image packaging NGINX with the nginx-rtmp-module and FFmpeg compiled from source on Alpine Linux, preconfigured for HLS live streaming. It accepts RTMP ingest (e.g., from OBS) and serves HLS playlists for playback in browsers or players like VLC.
Use cases
- self-host an RTMP to HLS live streaming server
- stream from OBS to my own server instead of Twitch
- serve HLS m3u8 streams to browsers with hls.js
- run a lightweight nginx-rtmp media server in Docker
- restream a live video feed over RTMP and HLS
- set up a private live streaming endpoint with SSL
When to choose
- you want a quick, preconfigured RTMP/HLS streaming server in a container
- you need simple self-hosted live streaming with OBS ingest
- you want a minimal Alpine-based image you can customize via nginx.conf
When to avoid
- you need advanced features like transcoding, recording, or multi-bitrate ABR out of the box
- you require a actively developed media server with large-scale scaling (consider SRS, MediaMTX, or Wowza)
- you need WebRTC low-latency streaming
