Note: It's a single node, also light-weighted, video cloud for tiny company, personal user and starter.

Please restart service when .env changed.

Run srs-cloud in one docker:

docker run --rm -it -p 2022:2022 -p 1935:1935/tcp -p 1985:1985/tcp \
  -p 8080:8080/tcp -p 8000:8000/udp -p 10080:10080/udp \
  ossrs/srs-cloud:platform-1

Then open http://localhost:2022/mgmt in browser.

All data will be reset when restarting, so please mount volumes if want to save data to local disk:

docker run --rm -it -p 2022:2022 -p 1935:1935/tcp -p 1985:1985/tcp \
  -p 8080:8080/tcp -p 8000:8000/udp -p 10080:10080/udp \
  -v $HOME/db:/data ossrs/srs-cloud:platform-1

The volumes for srs-cloud:

• /data The global data directory.
  • redis The redis data directory, the publish secret and record configuration.
  • srs-cloud The data directory for srs-cloud
    • config The mgmt password and cloud configuration.
    • record The record storage directory, save record files.
    • vlive The storage directory for virtual live, save video files.

You can change the volumes to other directories.

Start redis by brew:

brew services start redis

Start SRS in macOS:

(cd platform && ~/git/srs/trunk/objs/srs -c containers/conf/srs.release-local.conf)

Run the mgmt backend, or run in GoLand:

(cd mgmt && bash auto/init_global && PLATFORM_DOCKER=false go run .)

Run the platform backend, or run in GoLand:

(cd platform && go run .)

Run the platform react ui, or run in WebStorm:

(cd platform/ui && npm install && npm start)

Access the browser: http://localhost:3000

Run srs-cloud in a docker.

First, build image:

docker build -t platform-dev -f platform/Dockerfile.dev .

Then start the development docker:

docker run --rm -it -p 2022:2022 -p 2024:2024 --name platform \
  -v $(pwd):/usr/local/srs-cloud -v $HOME/db:/data \
  --add-host redis:127.0.0.1 --env REDIS_HOST=127.0.0.1 --add-host mgmt.srs.local:127.0.0.1 \
  --env CLOUD=DOCKER --env MGMT_DOCKER=true --env SRS_DOCKERIZED=true --env NODE_ENV=development \
  -p 1935:1935/tcp -p 1985:1985/tcp -p 8080:8080/tcp -p 8000:8000/udp -p 10080:10080/udp \
  platform-dev bash

Start redis and SRS only in docker:

bash auto/init_mgmt && bash auto/start_redis && bash auto/start_srs

Build and run mgmt only in docker:

cd /usr/local/srs-cloud/mgmt && make && ./mgmt

Build and run platform only in docker:

docker exec -it platform bash -c 'make && ./platform'

Stop redis and SRS:

docker exec -it platform bash -c 'bash auto/stop_redis && bash auto/stop_srs'

It's the same as production online.

Release bugfix:

• For mgmt: ./auto/mgmt_platform_pub.sh
• Then test the specified version of mgmt.
• Finally, run ./auto/releases_pub.sh if test ok.

Note: The features might need to be updated.

Release version for BT and aaPanel:

• MUST update the version manually in auto/bt_aapanel_pub.sh, scripts/setup-bt/info.json and scripts/setup-aapanel/info.json
• Then run ./auto/bt_aapanel_pub.sh
• Finally, download bt-srs_cloud.zip then submit to bt.cn

Note: The BT forum and FAQ might need to be updated.

To refresh current tag for mgmt:

• Run ./scripts/refresh-current-tag.sh

Note: It does not update the tag for release.

Release stable version:

• MUST update the stable version manually in releases/version.go
• Then run ./auto/releases_pub.sh

Note: We disable the upgrade feature, so should never update the stable version.
