Popcorn

Popcorn is live! at https://popcorntv.click

Let's say you're very far from your friends and family, but you want to watch a movie together. With Popcorn, you can create a virtual space where everyone can join, hangout and watch anything with each other! This repository features the server side of Popcorn, while the front end is presented by Popcorn-web.

Architecture

Requirements (Without Docker)

Go <1.20 or above>

Redis <5 or above>

Building (With Docker)

1. Get Livekit Host, API, Secret and RTMP Host credentials and save those in config/secrets.env. This is a one time thing.

2. Create a docker network using the command below:

   docker network create -d bridge popcorn-network

3. Clone this repository and run it using the command below:

   docker compose --env-file=./config/secrets.env up --build -d

4. Clone Popcorn-web and run it using the command below:

5. Launch the nginx docker container, which'll receive both the backend and the frontend's traffic:

   // In Popcorn repository
   cd nginx/
   
   docker compose -f nginx-compose.yaml up --build -d

6. Finally, Open http://localhost and try it out!
