What is Fuse Video Streamer

Fuse Video Streamer creates a virtual disk sort of like Rclone that contains files and folders. In this case it supports streaming HTTP partial content. Fuse Video Streamer is a completely stateless application, it does not contain any files or directories by itself, instead it will connect to a list of fileservers (provided over the gPRCprotocol) to list out directories and files. When you open a file it will make a final request to get the streamable media url and it will continuesly make HTTP partial content requests to it and stream the file.

Getting Started

    - ./fvs:/mnt/fvs:rshared # Bind the mount
    - ./logs/fuse_video_streamer:/app/logs  # Store logs
  cap_add:
    - SYS_ADMIN
  security_opt:
    - apparmor:unconfirmed
  devices:
    - /dev/fuse:/dev/fuse:rwm
  pid: host # Very important, each stream is opened per PID!
