StreamPlatformLite

Stream Platform Lite is a platform that allows any streamer to easily create their own live streaming platform, making their content and revenue not entirely dependent on major streaming platforms.

Deployment Options

StreamPlatformLite supports two deployment methods. Caddy is recommended for its simplicity and automatic HTTPS.

Option 1: Caddy (Recommended - Automatic HTTPS)

Advantages:

• Automatic SSL certificate from Let's Encrypt
• Auto-renewal (no manual maintenance)
• Simpler configuration
• Better security (backend not directly exposed)
• HTTP/2 and HTTP/3 support out of the box

Prerequisites:

• Docker & Docker Compose
• Domain name with DNS A record pointing to your server
• Ports 80, 443, and 1935 open in firewall

Setup:

1. Clone the repositories:

   git clone https://github.com/cool9850311/StreamPlatformLite.git
   git clone https://github.com/cool9850311/StreamPlatformLite-Frontend.git
   git clone https://github.com/cool9850311/StreamPlatformLite-Backend.git

2. Navigate to the project directory:

   cd StreamPlatformLite

3. Copy the Caddy configuration files:

   cp docker-compose-caddy.yml docker-compose.yml
   cp Caddyfile.example Caddyfile

4. Edit Caddyfile and replace example.com with your actual domain name.

5. Update the environment variables in docker-compose.yml:

   • Replace example.com with your domain in DOMAIN and FRONTEND_DOMAIN
   • Update other environment variables as needed
   • (See Configuration - docker-compose)

6. Start the services:

   docker-compose up -d --build

7. Wait 1-2 minutes for Caddy to obtain SSL certificates automatically.

Notes:

• Certificates are stored in Docker volumes and renewed automatically
• No manual certificate management needed
• Access your site at https://yourdomain.com

Option 2: Nginx (Traditional Method)

Use this if:

• You prefer manual certificate management
• You already have SSL certificates
• You need specific Nginx features

Setup:

1. Clone the repositories:

   git clone https://github.com/cool9850311/StreamPlatformLite.git
   git clone https://github.com/cool9850311/StreamPlatformLite-Frontend.git
   git clone https://github.com/cool9850311/StreamPlatformLite-Backend.git

2. Navigate to the project directory:

   cd StreamPlatformLite

3. Copy the example configuration files:

   cp docker-compose-example.yml docker-compose.yml
   cp nginx.conf.example nginx.conf

4. Update the environment variables in docker-compose.yml and nginx.conf as needed. (See Configuration - docker-compose)

5. Replace cert & key files in certs folder with your own SSL certificates.

6. Start the services using Docker Compose:

   docker-compose up -d --build

Stopping the Application

To stop the services (works for both Caddy and Nginx):

docker-compose down
