# streamupload **Upload videos to be re-encoded and scheduled for streaming** ## Install * Prepare a Linux server, set its timezone to the users' timezone (on deb-based systems: `dpkg-reconfigure tzdata`). * On the server, `cd` to the place where you want the files (make sure that the webserver user (often `www-data`) has access to the location!). * Make sure the packages `git php-fpm ffmpeg` are installed (on deb-based systems: `apt install git php-fpm ffmpeg`). * Clone repo: `git clone https://gitlab.com/pepa65/streamupload`. * `cd streamupload`. Now the output of `pwd` is the value for `$repopath`. * Copy `_mailvars` to `mailvars` and set the variables `to`, `user`, `password`, `smtp` and `port` in it in order to receive mail notifications when the encodes are finished. * Make a crontab-entry: "* * * * * $repopath/encode" (replace `$repopath`!). * Install the `mailer` binary by downloading it from the repo at https://https://github.com/pepa65/mailer/releases/latest and moving it to `/usr/local/bin` and make it executable: `chmod +x /usr/local/bin/mailer`. If it's not installed, everything except the email will still work. * Run a php/webserver on `$repopath/uploadpage`: - Get it to restart on reboot. - Setting up basicauth on the page is a good idea if others can get access! - Change the relevant `php.ini` to allow large file uploads: * `post_max_size` - Upper limit of uploaded video sizes, say `10G`. * `upload_max_filesize` - same value as `post_max_size`. ### Webserver If no webserver has been installed, an easy way to get going is to use Caddy from https://caddyserver.com/download and place the `caddy` binary in `/usr/local/bin` and make it executable: `chmod +x /usr/local/bin/caddy`. For php functionality, install `php-fpm` (on deb-based systems: `apt install php-fpm`) and make the config file `/root/Caddyfile` with: ``` :80 { basicauth { $user $hashpassword } php_fastcgi unix//run/php/php-fpm.sock root * $repopath/uploadpage file_server } ``` * If the server IP has an DNS A record pointing to it, `:80` can be replaced by the domainname with the A record. * Replace `$user` with the desired username for authentication. * Replace `$hashpassword` with the output of `caddy hash-password` which will ask for the password to be used for authentication. * Replace `$repopath` (see above in Install). * The value of `/run/php/php-fpm.sock` might need to be adjusted, depending on the system used, it needs to be the unix socket for php. * Caddy can be started at boottime by including `@reboot /root/Caddy` as a line in root's crontab: `crontab -e` and make the file `/root/Caddy` with: ``` #!/usr/bin/env bash # Make sure internet is reachable while ! /usr/bin/ping -q -c 1 1.1.1.1 &>/dev/null do sleep 1 done cd /root /usr/local/bin/caddy stop &>/dev/null sleep 1 /usr/bin/killall -9 caddy &>/dev/null /usr/local/bin/caddy start &>/root/caddy.log ``` ## Usage * Get a streamkey for the target by scheduling a stream (supported are: Restream.io, YouTube.com, Facebook.com). * Go to the server's IP address in the browser: `http://$ipaddress` or to the domainname if available: `https://$domainname`. * Fill in the form, and click "Schedule Stream".
