Get Started

Prerequisites

• A server with Docker and Docker Compose installed.
• A registered domain name.
• Point the domains player.example.com and api-player.example.com to the public IP address of your server.

Setup

1. Create a directory for your VideoCMS installation:

   mkdir videocms
   cd videocms
   

2. Create a docker-compose.yaml file:

   Create a file named docker-compose.yaml with the following content. This configuration uses Caddy to automatically handle HTTPS for your domains.

   docker-compose.yaml

   version: "3.8"
   services:
     api:
       image: kirari04/videocms:alpha
       restart: unless-stopped
       networks:
         - videocmsnet
       volumes:
         - ./videos:/app/videos
         - ./database:/app/database
     panel:
       image: kirari04/videocms:panel
       restart: unless-stopped
       networks:
         - videocmsnet
       environment:
         - NUXT_PUBLIC_API_URL=https://api-player.example.com/api
         - NUXT_PUBLIC_BASE_URL=https://api-player.example.com
         - NUXT_PUBLIC_NAME=VideoCMS
     caddy:
       image: caddy:2-alpine
       restart: unless-stopped
       ports:
         - "80:80"
         - "443:443"
       volumes:
         - ./Caddyfile:/etc/caddy/Caddyfile
         - caddy_data:/data
       networks:
         - videocmsnet
   networks:
     videocmsnet:
       driver: bridge
   volumes:
     caddy_data: {}
   

3. Create a Caddyfile:

   Create a file named Caddyfile and replace player.example.com and api-player.example.com with your actual domains.

   Caddyfile

   player.example.com {
       reverse_proxy panel:3000
   }
   
   api-player.example.com {
       reverse_proxy api:3000
   }
   

4. Start the application:

   Run the following command to start all services.

   docker compose up -d
   

Initial Configuration

On the first startup, a default user with the username admin and the password 12345678 is created.

You can now open the panel on https://player.example.com/login and login using the default credentials.

Next, navigate to the Config Page at https://player.example.com/my/config.

Replace the Value of BaseUrl with the URL of your API, which is https://api-player.example.com.

Make sure to save the changes using the save button at the bottom of the page.

After modifying the settings you should restart the containers.

docker compose down
docker compose up -d

Start Sharing Videos

You can now navigate to the Video Page at https://player.example.com/my/videos and start uploading your first clip by pressing start upload.

After the upload has finished you can close the Upload Manager and press on the refresh button.

The Video will show up in the list and if you click on it you get some more detailed informations.
