  docker build -t onvif-build -f ./build/Dockerfile.onvif-camera .

The build could take from 20 to 30 minutes.

Deployment

To deploy this project run

  docker run -it -e INTERFACE=eth0 -p 8554:8554 -p 1000:1000 docker-build

If you want to pass a custom mp4 file to the RTSP stream :

  docker run -it -e INTERFACE=eth0 -e MP4=/home/file.mp4 -p 8554:8554 -p 1000:1000 docker-build

After start you'll need to copy your MP4 file to the container, to do so, note the container id

    docker ps |grep onvif

Then copy

    docker cp <path/to/your/video/file> <container-id>:/home/file.mp4

Usage

You can now see the RTSP stream by using ffmpeg

apt install ffmpeg

The command is

ffplay rtsp://localhost:8554/stream1
