Insta-Loop-Live

Go Live on Instagram, Loop a Video.

Web UI to loop a local video and stream it to Instagram Live via RTMP (FFmpeg, vertical 720×1280).

Docker Hub

Published image: imvickykumar999/insta-loop-live

Quick start (Docker)

Prerequisites

• Docker installed
• Instagram RTMP URL and stream key (from Instagram when you go live)

Pull the image

docker pull imvickykumar999/insta-loop-live:latest

Run the container

docker run -d \
  --name insta-loop-live \
  --restart unless-stopped \
  -p 3000:5000 \
  -v "$(pwd)/uploads:/app/uploads" \
  -v "$(pwd)/logs:/app/logs" \
  imvickykumar999/insta-loop-live:latest

Open the app: http://localhost:3000

Flag	Purpose
-p 3000:5000	App on port 3000 (container listens on 5000)
-v .../uploads	Persist uploaded videos
-v .../logs	Persist stream logs
--restart unless-stopped	Keep running in the background

Optional: persist settings

To save RTMP URL, stream key, and video path between restarts, mount a config file:

# Create config on the host first (example)
cat > ig_stream_config.json << 'EOF'
{
  "video": "/app/uploads/your-video.mp4",
  "url": "rtmps://live-upload.instagram.com:443/rtmp/",
  "key": "YOUR_STREAM_KEY"
}
EOF

docker run -d \
  --name insta-loop-live \
  --restart unless-stopped \
  -p 3000:5000 \
  -v "$(pwd)/uploads:/app/uploads" \
  -v "$(pwd)/logs:/app/logs" \
  -v "$(pwd)/ig_stream_config.json:/app/ig_stream_config.json" \
  imvickykumar999/insta-loop-live:latest

Security: Do not commit ig_stream_config.json to git; it contains your stream key.

Using the app

1. Open http://localhost:3000
2. Upload a video or set the path to /app/uploads/yourfile.mp4
3. Enter your RTMP URL and stream key
4. Click Go Live to start looping the video to Instagram
5. Click Stop stream when finished

After upload via the UI, use the container path (e.g. /app/uploads/myvideo.mp4) as the video source.

Manage the container

docker logs -f insta-loop-live    # follow logs
docker stop insta-loop-live         # stop
docker start insta-loop-live        # start again
docker rm -f insta-loop-live        # remove

Run from source (without Docker Hub)

git clone https://github.com/imvickykumar999/Insta-Loop-Live.git
cd Insta-Loop-Live
python3 -m venv .venv && source .venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
# Requires ffmpeg on the host
python app.py

Or build and run locally:
