Introduction

To obtain official support from our team, we have a minimum set of requirements. These requirements are necessary for us to access essential system information, provide an SLA, answer questions, or give a solution to the problem.

Only installations matching these minimum requirements can be covered by our SLAs and our paid Support Policy; some conditions may vary depending on the installation size, as described below.

Docker container

We strongly recommend using our official Docker images to eliminate environment issues of missing, outdated, or mismatching dependencies, specific operating system issues, or issues during manual installations.

is widely used for packaging applications in containers and distributing them as images, providing abstraction and isolation layers from the OS (operational system). In addition, it allows the application to be shipped with a specific version of the OS compatibility layer and its dependencies already installed and configured.

Step 3: Run Restreamer Container

Start Docker Desktop and go to Images. The Restreamer is in the list. A click on RUN takes you to the next step.

Step 4: Configurate your Restreamer container and start

The next step is to set the container's name, the ports for access in the browser, and the video data. Finally, place the volume settings so that the login data and the restreamer are permanently saved! Otherwise, the settings and login data will be gone with the next update. Click Run to start the Restreamer for the first time.

• Name A logical name helps to find the container again.

• Ports Transfer the numbers from the Container Ports field to the empty areas on the left.

• Volumes Choose a folder on the windows machine where you want to store the settings and configuration of the restreamer permanently. The Destination path is /core/config and /core/data.

Step 5: Open Browser to login

Click on the 8080:8080 opens the default browser with the Restreamer front door. You can otherwise also open a browser and enter the device's IP address with the Restreamer installed. In the example: http://device-ip:8080/ui

Finally, place the volume settings so that the login data and the restreamer are permanently saved! Otherwise, the settings and login data will be gone with the next update. Click Run to start the Restreamer for the first time.

• Name A logical name helps to find the container again.

• Ports Transfer the numbers from the Container Ports field to the empty areas on the left.

• Volumes Choose a folder on the windows machine where you want to store the settings and configuration of the restreamer permanently. The Destination path is /core/config and /core/data.

Step 7: Open Browser to login

Click on the 8080:8080 opens the default browser with the Restreamer front door. You can otherwise also open a browser and enter the device's IP address with the Restreamer installed. In the example: http://device-ip:8080/ui

Step 8. First login

When you log in for the first time in your Restreamer, you have to enter your credentials.

Additional information: The Environments

Environments are global settings for the Restreamer. We recommend considering some environments at the startup. They are admittedly not so essential for Docker Desktop, but it does not hurt if you know them!

Description of the most important commands for the use of environments

-p 8080:8080 Binds the computer's port 8080 to the Restreamer's port 8080. It allows you to connect to the Restreamer GUI over HTTP with your browser. If you want to use a different port, change it to -p 31000:8080, for example.

-p 8081:8181 Binds the computer's port 8181 to the Restreamer's port 8181. It allows you to connect to the Restreamer GUI over HTTPS with your browser. If you want to use a different port, change it to -p 31000:8181, for example.

-p 1935:1935 Binds port 1935 of the computer to port 1935 of the Restreamer. It allows you to receive streams from the RTMP server or send streams to the RTMP server. If you want to use a different port, change it to -p 31000:1935, for example.

-p 1936:1936 Binds port 1936 of the computer to port 1936 of the Restreamer. It allows you to receive streams from the RTMPS server or send streams to the RTMPS server. If you want to use a different port, change it to -p 31000:1936, for example.

-p 6000/udp Binds port 6000/udp of the restreamer. It allows you to receive streams from the SRT server or send streams to the SRT server. If you want to use a different port, change it to -p 31000:6000/udp, for example.

-v ${HOME}/restreamer/config:/core/config The Restreamer stores the current state in the /core/config directory inside the container. This command maps the ${HOME}/restreamer/config directory of your computer into the container. This can be used to preserve the state if the restreamer needs to be restarted. If you want to store the state in a different directory on your device, change it to, e.g. -v /tmp/restreamer/config:/core/config

-v ${HOME}/restreamer/data:/core/data The restreamer stores the internal file system persistently in this directory.

datarhei/restreamer:latest It is the Docker image of the latest datarhei Restreamer on Docker Hub. Docker checks if the image is available locally and downloads it if it is not or if a newer image is available.

From Restreamer version 0.6.8 onwards, the configuration settings will be migrated when updating to version 2.x.

If this was too quick for you, check out the .

Update v2 to > v2.x

The current version of the datarhei Restreamer is executed via the same command as during the new installation.

Old Version v0.6.8

v2.4+ to v2.3.x (downgrade)

Restreamer version >= 2.4.0 switches to FFmpeg 5.1.2, which is incompatible with earlier versions.

However, if problems arise due to the update, there is a backup to downgrade to =< 2.3.x.

The required steps:

v0.6.x to v2.x

If you are currently using an older version of Restreamer and want to upgrade to the latest version, you have to follow these steps. In case you don't need or want to keep your current stream settings you can go the page and install Restreamer v2.x from scratch.

This guide assumes that your current docker command line looks like

Your actual command line might have more enviroment variables or different paths to the mounted directories.

2. Start Restreamer v0.6.8 and start streaming from the video source.

3. Stop Restreamer v0.6.8 by stopping the Docker container, e.g. docker kill restreamer and then docker rm restreamer.

4. Pull the latest Restreamer image, e.g. docker pull datarhei/restreamer:latest.

5. Adjust the mounted volumes by replacing -v /mnt/restreamer/db:/restreamer/db with -v /mnt/restreamer/db:/core/config -v /opt/restreamer/data:/core/data in your docker command line.

6. Start Restreamer. Now the settings from v0.6.8 are imported to v2.x

7. Done.

Your docker command should now look like

After the old settings have been successfully imported, the old settings database (v1.json) stored in /mnt/restreamer/db will not be used anymore. A new settings database (db.json) and a config file (config.json) have been created in that directory.

Review your Docker command line

As in the example command line above, there are two environment variables RS_USERNAME and RS_PASSWORD. You can remove those because during the first start of Restreamer v2.x their values were transferred into the config.json.

Your docker command should now look like

Your actual command line might have different paths to the mounted directories. Please adjust the example above accordingly in case you want to copy/paste it.

Important: The Environments

Environments are global settings for the Restreamer. We recommend considering some environments at the startup.

Description of the most important commands for the use of environments

-d Deletes the container. This means that the container is executed in the background. You can run it interactively in the foreground with -it instead of -d. To stop the restreamer in detached mode, type docker stop restreamer. In interactive mode, simply press Ctrl-C to stop the restreamer.

--name restreamer Set the container the name restreamer. This name can be used in other Docker commands to control the container. For example, to stop the Restreamer, type docker stop restreamer. While the Restreamer is running, you can log into the container with docker exec -it restreamer /bin/bash.

--restart=always If the Restreamer crashes or the device reboots, Docker restarts the Restreamer automatically.

--publish 8080:8080 Binds the computer's port 8080 to the Restreamer's port 8080. It allows you to connect to the Restreamer GUI over HTTP with your browser. If you want to use a different port, change it to -p 31000:8080, for example.

--publish 8081:8181 Binds the computer's port 8181 to the Restreamer's port 8181. It allows you to connect to the Restreamer GUI over HTTPS with your browser. If you want to use a different port, change it to -p 31000:8181, for example.

--publish 1935:1935 Binds port 1935 of the computer to port 1935 of the Restreamer. It allows you to receive streams from the RTMP server or send streams to the RTMP server. If you want to use a different port, change it to -p 31000:1935, for example.

--publish 1936:1936 Binds port 1936 of the computer to port 1936 of the Restreamer. It allows you to receive streams from the RTMPS server or send streams to the RTMPS server. If you want to use a different port, change it to -p 31000:1936, for example.

--publish 6000/udp Binds port 6000/udp of the restreamer. It allows you to receive streams from the SRT server or send streams to the SRT server. If you want to use a different port, change it to -p 31000:6000/udp, for example.

--volume ${HOME}/restreamer/config:/core/config The Restreamer stores the current state in the /core/config directory inside the container. This command maps the ${HOME}/restreamer/config directory of your computer into the container. This can be used to preserve the state if the restreamer needs to be restarted. If you want to store the state in a different directory on your device, change it to, e.g. -v /tmp/restreamer/config:/core/config

--volume ${HOME}/restreamer/data:/core/data The Restreamer stores the internal file system persistently in this directory.
