MistServer Bootstrap

Complete MistServer setup with monitoring and HTTPS. Works as Docker stack or native CLI tools.

Quick Start

Docker

git clone https://github.com/ddvtech/mistserver-bootstrap
cd mistserver-bootstrap
docker compose up

Service	URL	Credentials
MistServer	http://localhost:4242	admin / admin
Grafana	http://localhost:3000	admin / admin
Prometheus	http://localhost:9090	-
HLS	http://localhost:8080/hls/{stream}/index.m3u8	-
RTMP Ingest	rtmp://localhost:1935/live/{stream}	-

Native

sudo ./install.sh
mist-install                              # Build MistServer from source
mist-monitoring enable                    # Start Prometheus + Grafana
mist-https enable --domain example.com    # Enable HTTPS

Docker Options

# With HTTPS (requires DOMAIN in .env)
docker compose --profile caddy up

# With GPU passthrough (Linux)
docker compose -f docker-compose.yml -f docker-compose.gpu.yml up

# Makefile shortcuts
make up CADDY=true GPU=true DETACH=true

When DOMAIN is set, Caddy proxies https://$DOMAIN/mist/, /hls/, /webrtc/, /grafana/.

CLI Tools

After sudo ./install.sh:

Command	Description
mist-install	Install MistServer natively (source or binary)
mist-passwd	Change admin password (native only)
mist-https	HTTPS via Caddy (native only, use --profile caddy for Docker)
mist-monitoring	Prometheus + Grafana (adds containers to native MistServer)
mist-status	Show server status
mist-videogen	Generate test streams

Docker stack: Use .env for config (ADMIN_PASSWORD, DOMAIN) and --profile caddy for HTTPS.

Streams

# Ingest
mist-videogen -f flv rtmp://localhost:1935/live/test

# Playback
ffplay http://localhost:8080/hls/test/index.m3u8
open http://localhost:8080/test.html

Environment

Copy env.example to .env:

• ADMIN_USER / ADMIN_PASSWORD - MistServer credentials
• DOMAIN - Enable HTTPS when set
• MIST_API_PORT, GRAFANA_PORT, PROMETHEUS_PORT - Port overrides
