atm0s-media-server

atm0s-media-server is a Rust workspace for a decentralized low-latency media server. The current runtime is a single binary with multiple server modes that can run together in standalone mode or as separate console, gateway, connector, and media nodes.

The project is in a refactoring-era state around sans-io-runtime. Trust the source tree over older nested docs where they disagree.

Current Runtime

The binary is atm0s-media-server from bin/.

Current subcommands:

• standalone: starts in-process console, gateway, connector, and media nodes for local development.
• console: serves the console UI/API and SDN cluster views.
• gateway: serves token APIs, WebRTC/WHIP/WHEP/RTPengine media APIs, node APIs, metrics APIs, and sample assets.
• media: runs media workers and WebRTC/RTPengine transports.
• connector: stores connector events in SQL storage and handles record/hook related connector work.
• cert: writes self-signed certificate/key files for QUIC-related development utilities.

Implemented source-backed integrations include WebRTC SDK protobuf APIs, WHIP, WHEP, RTPengine-style APIs, recording upload/convert components, connector hooks, console APIs, and multi-tenancy sync storage. RTMP and SIP are not current in-repo server modes or transport crates.

Quick Start From Source

Prerequisites:

• Rust 1.84.0 with rustfmt and clippy from rust-toolchain.toml.
• Linux packages used by CI: libsoxr-dev, libopus-dev, and libssl-dev.
• protoc for all-features builds.
• wget if using download-geodata.sh.
• Node 20 and pnpm if building the console frontend directly.

Download the GeoIP database used by gateway routing:

./download-geodata.sh

Run a local standalone stack from the bin/ directory. Running from bin/ also matches the debug sample asset path used by the HTTP server:

cd bin
cargo run -- \
  --sdn-zone-node-id 1 \
  --workers 1 \
  standalone \
  --geo-db ../maxminddb-data/GeoLite2-City.mmdb \
  --max-cpu 100 \
  --max-memory 100 \
  --max-disk 100

Default local ports in standalone mode:

• Console UI/API: http://localhost:8080
• Gateway media/token APIs: http://localhost:3000

Useful API docs are served by running nodes:

• Gateway token docs: http://localhost:3000/token/ui
• Gateway WHIP docs: http://localhost:3000/whip/ui
• Gateway WHEP docs: http://localhost:3000/whep/ui
• Gateway WebRTC docs: http://localhost:3000/webrtc/ui
• Gateway RTPengine docs: http://localhost:3000/rtpengine/ui
• Node APIs: http://localhost:3000/api/node/ui
• Metrics APIs: http://localhost:3000/api/metrics/ui

Build And Check

From the repository root:

cargo build --release --package atm0s-media-server
cargo fmt --all -- --check
cargo clippy --all-targets --all-features -- -D warnings
cargo test --all-features --workspace

Frontend console commands live in packages/media_console_front/react-app:

pnpm install
pnpm lint
pnpm build

Known Caveats

• --http-tls is parsed by the CLI, but it is not passed into the inspected HTTP server startup paths.
• --rtpengine-cmd-addr is parsed by gateway args, but no runtime use was found in the inspected gateway flow.
• External release download URLs and external SDK/sample repositories were not verified in this documentation pass.
• Some older nested docs still describe removed or stale concepts. The top-level docs above are the current entry points.
