AceStream Engine server

CI/CD	DockerHub stats

Info

Debian Jessie based docker image to run AceStream Engine

Note

In order to be able to use play.sh (a wrapper to play acestream links using this docker image) you need to have installed acestream-launcher and VLC as a player.

Make targets

To facilitate the use of this repo, I included a Makefile with some simple targets:

• build will build the docker image, and tag it
• test will run the container in the foreground
• shell will run the container in the background, and attach to the shell
• push will push to a remote repo (dockerhub)
• security-check will run conftest with the .rego policy in the repo

Extra

If you want to run this docker container in a different machine (e.g. a server) from the one playing the stream, then you'd have to modify the acestream-launcher python file to be able to do so:

/usr/local/lib/python3.6/dist-packages/acestream_launcher/stream.py

the line: def __init__(self, bin, host='<IP_of_docker_host_here>', port=6878, timeout=30):

Remember to expose port 6878 (AceStream Engine API port).

Thank you

I found about conftest to test the Dockerfile on this post https://cloudberry.engineering/article/dockerfile-security-best-practices/

I used https://github.com/gbrindisi/dockerfile-security rego file to perform my conftest.
