Bolt ⚡

Bolt is a simple service which serves RTMP packets/streams over the web using HLS and FFMPEG.

• Bolt can connect to any existing rtmp endpoint and start serving HLS file immediately
• It offers API’s to interact with the platform and can handle the scaling and redistribution of the streams from single/multiple sources

High Level Design Of BOLT

How to setup BOLT

• clone the repository
• run the bash script present under scripts folder ./scripts/start.sh which uses docker to run both the rtmp server and BOLT server
  • refer the API doc to creat Streams
• connect your broadcasting software to the RTMP endpoint (http://localhost:1935/live) and use the streamKey generated by BOLT
• once the rtmp server successfully starts receiving packets, trigger the start stream endpoint post which BOLT will start generating and serving HLS chunks
  • head over to http://localhost:3000/api/live/{streamKey} to view the live playback.
