title: Hosting video for a WordPress site in a Docker container
body: <p>I have a WordPress site which runs in a Docker container behind an nginx proxy container. I need to embed a small number of videos in the site, which total around 8GB. I looked into hosting them on Vimeo, but the site is part of a small academic project and we currently do not have the funding for an ongoing Vimeo subscription. So I have been researching the possibility of self-hosting the videos.</p>
  
  <p>My intial thought was to bundle the videos into their own Docker container, and stream from there. I found <a href="https://github.com/Eyevinn/docker-toolbelt" rel="nofollow noreferrer">this Docker container</a> through Googling 'Docker streaming server', but I really have no idea if it represents a potential solution. I assume that we would indeed need some kind of server to stream the videos, and if so what kind of server? FFmpeg? Something like <a href="https://hub.docker.com/r/vimagick/ffserver/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">this</a>?</p>
