First thing...
I thank God for graciously, through His mercy, giving me all the necessary knowledge acquired throughout my life and throughout the development of this project. It is only through His grace and provision that this was possible, and I am truly grateful for His presence every step of the way.
For of Him, and through Him, and to Him, are all things: to whom be glory for ever. Amen.
Apostle Paul in Romans 11:36
Agreement on the Purpose of Software Installation
This Software must be used for Good, never Evil. The use of this software for creating content related to sexually explicit material, pornography, or adult themes is strictly forbidden. Such usage goes against the values and principles of our platform and is not permitted under any circumstances.
Demonstration Sites
- AVideo Platform Full-Access Demo
- We provide you with a full-access demo site sample, which includes access to the admin account. To upload and manage videos, you will need the default admin password. User: admin and Password: 123. There is also a non-admin user and password (for commenting only). User: test and Password: test."
- AVideo Platform Flix Demo
- We offer you a demonstration of the AVideo Flix Style site. On this site, you can subscribe using real money through PayPal, which will grant you access to our private videos. We have provided a test user for you to experience how the site works. User: test and Password: test.
- AVideo Platform Gallery Demo
- We have also provided a sample Video Gallery site, which doubles as our tutorial site. In this demonstration, you can log in, subscribe, like, dislike, and comment, but uploading videos is not allowed.
AVideo
AVideo is divided into three distinct components: the streamer, the encoder, and the live server. The streamer is utilized to play and manage videos, while the encoder converts your videos into a web-compatible format. The live server, on the other hand, is used to broadcast live videos.
Why do I need the Encoder?
There may be several reasons why you may consider installing the encoder, such as having a faster server compared to the public encoder server, or if you prefer a private method for encoding your videos
Additionally, if your server is on a private network and does not have a public IP address, or if it uses an IP address within the 10.0.0.0/8, 127.0.0.0/8 (Localhost), 172.16.0.0/12, or 192.168.0.0/16 range, it is mandatory to install an encoder in order for it to properly communicate with the streamer site.
Server Requirements
To run the AVideo Platform, it is necessary to have certain tools installed on your server. Fortunately, all of these tools are available for free. For a comprehensive list of the required tools, please refer to the following link: https://github.com/WWBN/AVideo/wiki/AVideo-Platform-Hardware-Requirements.
In summary, you will need:
- PHP version 7.4 or higher
- MySQL version 5.0 or higher
- Apache web server version 2.x with mod_rewrite enabled.
Important Note: Please Avoid Using Servers with Control Panels
It is important to note that while the Streamer component can be installed on any server, including Windows, the Encoder and Livestream components are recommended to be installed on a Linux distribution, specifically Ubuntu, without any control panel.
The reason for this is that control panels such as cPanel, Plesk, Webmin, VestaCP, etc. may limit access to the root system, preventing the installation of necessary libraries and the compilation of certain software. Furthermore, the Livestream component requires the compilation of Nginx, which may not be possible with these control panels.

Docker
We've created a docker compose environment for easy development and production.
Development
Either just build the current branch by cloning the repository and run
doker build -t avideo .
And run the image. It contains an Apache2 webserver exposing ports 80 and 443. We recommend using HTTPS on port 443 and ignore the HTTP port 80. The container will create a self-signed certificate on startup. There are some environment variables, that could be used to configure the environment
DB_MYSQL_HOST- defines the database host name - default isdatabaseDB_MYSQL_PORT- defines the database port - default is3306DB_MYSQL_NAME- defines the database name - default isavideoDB_MYSQL_USER- defines the database user - default isavideoDB_MYSQL_PASSWORD- defines the database password - default isavideoSERVER_NAME- defines the virtualhost name for Apache - default isavideo.localhostENABLE_PHPMYADMIN- defines, if PHPMyAdmin should be exposed - default isyesCREATE_TLS_CERTIFICATE- defines, if the container should generate a self-signed certificate - default isyesTLS_CERTIFICATE_FILE- defines the location of the TLS certificate - default is/etc/apache2/ssl/localhost.crtTLS_CERTIFICATE_KEY- defines the location of the TLS private key - default is/etc/apache2/ssl/localhost.keyCONTACT_EMAIL- defines the contact mail address - default isadmin@localhostSYSTEM_ADMIN_PASSWORD- defines the system administrator passwort - default ispasswordWEBSITE_TITLE- defines the website title - default isAVideoMAIN_LANGUAGE- defines the main language - default isen_US
If you don't want to rebuild the image during development, mount the git repository to
the path /var/www/html/AVideo. Then it using your local copy.
Compose
We've also a simple docker compose environment to define the complete necessary
environment. You can just use and customize the local docker-compose.yml file.
Beside the above defined docker image that can be build locally, the environment contains a MariaDB database and a PhpMyAdmin to have an easy look into the database content.
docker-compose up --build -d
In production you should remove the phpmyadmin image by setting ENABLE_PHPMYADMIN=no.
Also we're working on a prebuild image. So you can use the image from Docker hub.
After a git clone command run this
composer update --prefer-dist --ignore-platform-reqs
