OpenAce
OpenAce is an all-in-one Docker container that integrates the AceStream engine with a custom HTTP proxy to enable seamless content streaming for media servers like Jellyfin and Plex. It acts as an intermediary, relaying MPEG-TS streams directly or converting them into HLS format for broader player compatibility. The solution supports both standard operation and advanced setups with optional VPN integration via Gluetun, including automatic port forwarding for enhanced reliability. Key features include a unified environment combining AceStream and the proxy, smart startup scripts that detect VPN modes, and robust error handling with logging. Users can access content through two primary endpoints: a direct stream at /play/ for MPEG-TS and a converted stream at /hls/ for HLS playlists. The system is designed for easy deployment using Docker Compose, with options for simple setups or complex configurations involving WireGuard and Gluetun. It allows media servers to ingest streams via standard .m3u playlists, lever
