Introduction
What is Monibuca (m7s)?
Monibuca (pronounced: analog not card, m7s is its abbreviation, similar to k8s) is an open source streaming server development framework developed in Go. It is based on go1.19+, in addition to no other dependencies built, and provides a set of plug-in secondary development model to help you efficiently develop streaming media servers, you can directly use the official plug-in, or develop your own plug-in to extend any function, so Monibuca is a framework that can support any streaming protocol!
Monibuca consists of three parts: engine, plugins, and instance project.
The engine provides a common streaming data cache and forwarding mechanism, and does not care how the protocol is implemented The plugins offer all the other features and can be extended indefinitely An instance project is a project project that introduces the engine and plugins and starts the engine, and can be written entirely by yourself
Plug-in framework
Monibuca aims to build a general streaming media development ecosystem, so since the v1 version, it has considered the decoupling of services and stream forwarding, so as to design a set of plug-in mechanisms that can be arbitrarily extended. Depending on your needs, you can flexibly introduce different types of plugins:
- Provide streaming media protocol packaging/unpacking, such as RTMP plug-ins, RTSP plug-ins, etc
- Provides log persistence processing - logrotate plugin
- Provide recording function - record plugin
- Provide rich debugging functions - debug plugin
- Provide HTTP callback capability - hook plugin If you are an experienced developer, then the best way is to carry out secondary development on the basis of existing plugins, and provide reusable plugins to more people to enrich the ecosystem. If you're a beginner in streaming, the best way to do this is to use existing plugins to cobble together the features you need and ask experienced developers for help.

Origin of the name
The word Monibuca is derived from (Monica), and in order to solve the naming problem, three names are used to represent server, player, and streamer. Since Monica, Jessica, and Rebecca all have 卡 words, which is not good for the live broadcast (ca - 卡 means block in Chinese), it was changed to Monibuca, Jessibuca(https://jessibuca.com), and Rebebuca(https://rebebuca.com). (bu-不 means not)
Install
- The compiled binary executable files (i.e. green software) of each platform are officially provided, so it can run without installing any other software.
- If you need to compile and start the project yourself, you need to install go1.19 or above.
The official download link of the latest version is provided:
Don't forget to fix the rights chmod +x m7s_xxx_xxx on Linux and Mac.
Run
Executable files run directly
- Linux, for example, downloaded to
/opt/m7s_linux_x86, then$ cd /opt ' and then$ ./m7s_linux_x86` - Similar to Linux and Mac, you may need to modify the executable permissions of the file or double-click to run
- Windows, double-click m7s directly_windows_x86.exe can be started
