streamupload

Upload videos to be re-encoded and scheduled for streaming

Install

• Prepare a 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.
• Clone repo: git clone https://gitlab.com/pepa65/streamupload.
• cd streamupload.
• Run a php/webserver on $PWD/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.
• Make a crontab-entry: "* * * * * $PWD/encode" (replace $PWD with its value!).
• 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.
• 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.

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
• Fill in the form, click "Schedule Stream"
