I covered this in a post a few weeks ago, but I've updated it a bit here.

How to get streaming system up and running!

• make sure your host(s) getting pushed to has docker installed (ubuntu instructions)
• clone my 'docker' streamingsystem
  • git clone -b docker https://github.com/maxstr/streaming-system.git
• fill out config.private.json, config.json
  • I recommend setting up just a single channel. You can try running the encoder/collector on the same host if you wish!
• cd streaming-system/flumotion-config/tools/pusher
• . bin/activate
• fab prepare_deploy
  • this generates 'host files' in the hosts directory from config.json
  • fill out ssh connection details in the host file. you can include a username, a password, and a keyfile. the user specified must have sudo access.
• fab deploy
  • this pushes out the local configuration files to the hosts and builds the images
• wait
  • ~1.4gb is being downloaded from docker repository, this will only take a long time once per host because of the way commits work :)
• fab up
  • this starts all the flumotion containers on all hosts.
• voila~
• fab down to stop all containers on host.
