How do I log in to nginx-rtmp?
- In the panel, open My servers and click your server.
- On the Overview tab, wait for the App row to say "nginx-rtmp is ready". The page refreshes itself.
- Copy the address from the Connection address row. It looks like
rtmp://IP-address/secret-path, and the secret path is also in the Admin key row. - In your streaming software (OBS, for example), set the service to Custom under Settings > Stream. Enter this address as the Server, and any name you like (such as
stream) as the Stream key. - To pass the stream on to another platform such as YouTube, connect with SSH, add a
push rtmp://...;line to/opt/seturack/nginx-rtmp/hedefler.conf, then runcd /opt/seturack/nginx-rtmpanddocker compose restart rtmp.
Further down the page, the Username row and the Password row below it are for SSH. Don't use them to log in to nginx-rtmp.
Good to know
- Instead of publisher authentication, the stream path is secret: nobody can stream without knowing the address. Don't share it.
- The server doesn't re-encode the stream, it passes it on as it is, so CPU load stays low.
- Only ports 1935 and 22 (for SSH) are open to the outside.
No server yet? Order a server with nginx-rtmp installed: you choose the size and pay for what you choose.
