ORYX

Oryx(SRS Stack), is an all-in-one, out-of-the-box, and open-source video solution for creating online video services, including live streaming and WebRTC, on the cloud or through self-hosting.

Note: We renamed the project from SRS Stack to Oryx, because we only need a new name for AI assistant to identify SRS and SRS Stack. AI assistant is confused with SRS and SRS Stack.

Oryx makes it easy for you to create an online video service. It is made using Go, Reactjs, SRS, FFmpeg, and WebRTC. It supports protocols like RTMP, WebRTC, HLS, HTTP-FLV, and SRT. It offers features like authentication, streaming on multiple platforms, recording, transcoding, virtual live events, automatic HTTPS, and an easy-to-use HTTP Open API.

Note: For more details on the Oryx, please visit the following link.

Usage

Run Oryx in one docker, then open http://localhost in browser:

docker run --restart always -d -it --name oryx -v $HOME/data:/data \
  -p 80:2022 -p 443:2443 -p 1935:1935 -p 8000:8000/udp -p 10080:10080/udp \
  ossrs/oryx:5

Important: Remember to mount the /data volume to avoid losing data when the container restarts. For instance, if you mount /data to $HOME/data, all data will be stored in the $HOME/data folder. Be sure to modify this according to your desired directory.

Important: To use WebRTC WHIP in a browser, avoid using localhost or 127.0.0.1. Instead, use a private IP (e.g., https://192.168.3.85), a public IP (e.g., https://136.12.117.13), or a domain (e.g., https://your-domain.com). To set up HTTPS, refer to this post.

Note: In China, use registry.cn-hangzhou.aliyuncs.com/ossrs/oryx:5 to accelerate the Docker pull process and ensure the proper language is set.

The ports used for Oryx:

• 80/tcp: The HTTP port, you can also use 2022 instead, such as -p 2022:2022 etc.
• 443/tcp: The HTTPS port, you can also use 2443 instead, such as -p 2443:2443 etc.
• 1935/tcp: The RTMP port, to support publish stream by RTMP to Oryx.
• 8000/udp: The WebRTC UDP port, to transport WebRTC media data like RTP packets.
• 10080/udp: The SRT UDP port, to support publish stream via SRT protocol.

You have the option to modify the volumes for Oryx and direct them to different directories.

• /data The global data directory.
  • .well-known The directory for Let's Encrypt ACME challenge.
  • config The .env for password, srs/redis/nginx/prometheus config, and SSL files.
