StreamVault Engine
StreamVault Engine is an IPTV system that runs on your own server. It takes in channels — from the internet, from satellite or from cable — and delivers them to your viewers, with a programme guide, user management and an app for televisions.
What you get is a set of signed container images and a command-line tool. There is no cloud service in between: your viewers connect to your server, not to ours. The only time your machine talks to us is to download new versions and to keep the licence current.
Where to start
- Requirements — what the server needs.
- Installation — one command, with your licence key.
- Updating — how new versions are installed and what is guaranteed while it happens.
Worth knowing before you begin
- Installing and updating require a session on the server. Not the panel, and that is deliberate: updating means being able to command Docker, and granting that to a process exposed to the internet would mean a bug in that process is total control of the machine.
- The licence binds to the server where you activate it. Activation is a separate step from installation and happens once. Moving an installation to another machine is possible, but it is easier not to have to.
- An expired licence does not switch your broadcast off. You stop being able to install new versions and the system warns you, but what is already running keeps running. See how the licence works.
