Documentation

Welcome to the Restreamer documentation, which helps you to install and configure Restreamer for your device. All other questions about the streaming microcosm and technical facts are explained in our Wiki.

Restreamer is built on Docker. If you don’t know Docker, don’t be scared. Extensive knowledge isn’t required!

Requirements

• An IP camera, USB camera, or RaspiCam
• A x86_64 or ARM computer running Windows, macOS, or Linux
• A working Docker installation

Quick start

Assuming that you already have a device with Docker running on it, fire up the console and type:

$ docker run -it --rm -p 8080:8080 datarhei/restreamer:latest

Choose the image datarhei/restreamer-armv7l:latest if you are running it on a device with an ARM CPU in 32bit mode.

Open your browser, load the URL http://your-device-ip:8080/ and enter admin as username and datarhei as password. Now you are ready to stream!
