Simple Video CMS

A managed video sharing platform inspired by VideoHub. A back and front architecture video content management system with FFmpeg and SQLite.

Third Parties

All third party files are available offline except for FFmpeg, zlib and libpng submodules.

• C++ third parties
• CSS third parties
• JavaScript third parties

Local

For development purpose, files can be compiled with clang LLVM version 21.

Install vcpkg.

Install development requirements:

sudo apt install cmake clang-21 yasm ninja-build

Then build (zlib, libpng, ffmpeg and servers):

cmake --preset vcpkg
cmake --build --preset vcpkg-release --parallel

This will generates server binaries in build/vcpkg/front/Release/front and build/vcpkg/back/Release/back. Build with vcpkg-debug preset to make debug binaries.

Servers can be run using VS Code and CMake extension or with both commands just start-front and just start-back.

Docker

To build docker images, install a release build in dist:

cmake --preset vcpkg -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=dist
cmake --build --preset vcpkg-release --parallel --target install

Then build images:

docker build -f docker/front.containerfile -t simple-video-cms:front-latest dist
docker build -f docker/back.containerfile -t simple-video-cms:back-latest dist

Environment

To personalize front and backends, there is few environment variables to know:

• Super administrator (cannot be deleted):
  • SUPER_ADMIN_USERNAME (default admin)
• Server addresses:
  • BACK_HOST (default 0.0.0.0)
  • BACK_PORT (default 5000)
  • FRONT_HOST (default 0.0.0.0)
  • FRONT_PORT (default 8080)
  • BACK_SERVER_URL (default localhost:5000)
• Name of your hosted website:
  • WEBSITE_NAME (default Simple Video CMS)
• Browser icon:
  • ICON_PATH (default /static/img/icon.svg), mount a volume with your custom icon and set this variable to the path
