Live Stream to YouTube from your RPi with Docker

Normally ffmpeg needed to stream to YouTube takes 8-9 hours to build on a PiZero. You can download my image here and run it with your secret key:

docker run --privileged -ti alexellis2/streaming:17-5-2017 <secret>

Bill of materials:

  • Raspberry Pi Zero

  • RPi camera and cable

  • Latest Docker version via curl -sSL get.docker.com | sh

Thanks to Richard Gee for the inspiration of streaming from a Pi Zero and for helping to test between 8 hours builds.

The download is around 640mb compressed and a 1.3GB image but way quicker than compiling this from scratch.

Feel free to ask questions on Twitter @alexellisuk

Do you want to build it yourself?
