Running locally outside of docker

It is possible to run this application locally on a machine, outside of docker. To do so, you need the following:

• a clone of this repo
• a copy of the ffmpeg binary at the root of your project. It is currently used to combine streams in the modern DASH/adaptive bitrate format (anything larger than 720p will require combining.)
• a python virtual environment with the dependency libraries installed in it:

$ cd ~/root-of-your-project
$ python3 -m venv venv # create a venv called 'venv' at the root of your project
$ source ./venv/bin/activate # activate your venv for this project
$ pip install -r requirements.txt # install your dependencies
$ streamlit run app.py

your application should now be listening at http://localhost:8501
