A docker all in one usage example

[leandromoreira]

Hi team,

Thanks for sharing this surprising set of projects. I built a docker image and a docker-compose to provide a complete docker all-in-one usage example.

• added an openresty docker image (containing all the dependencies)
• split the internal server & expose it (basically extracting the controller)
• ported (almost 1:1 🤣 ) the php to golang
• added a ffmpeg command generating a test pattern for multi-bitrate
• added a minimal README on how to use it

It's missing the transcoding part plus some TODOS AND for sure many other things I have missed, but it's working!

I'd like to know your thoughts (and any suggestions)! I also was wondering if you'd like to have this stand-alone docker usage example in here (maybe in a folder docker_example), or maybe it should keep living in an external repo.

Thanks @leandromoreira, well done!

When we created the sample all-in-one setup few weeks ago, we considered providing a docker image. The main reason we didn't go with this approach, was the transcoding part. I wanted to use the existing transcoder dockerfile, since getting the dependencies right for ffmpeg may not be trivial. And, I wanted to run the transcoding dockers on-demand - for every incoming stream that needs transcoding. If the controller also runs in docker, not sure there's a reasonable way to accomplish this... if you have some ideas about this, please share :)
Either way, I'm ok with adding a sample docker compose + dockerfile for the all-in-one setup.

Providing the sample controller in Golang is also a good idea. When we started this project 3+ years ago, I wasn't familiar with Golang... so PHP was a more natural decision for me :) But I agree Golang is a better choice moving forward.

@erankor thank you for sharing your team's work :) I'm going to try to port the transcoder part as well before creating a PR right here.

This is quite excellent. I will contribute as well. Additionally, one can deploy this with Xilinx FPGA-driven ffmpeg instances.
