IPTV CDN Setup - Global Content Delivery for Streams

A CDN places copies of your content at servers around the world (edge nodes). Here's how it works for IPTV:

• Origin server (offshore): Your main IPTV server at AnubizHost stores all content and manages streams
• CDN edge nodes: Servers in 50+ countries cache your streams close to viewers
• Viewer request: When a viewer connects, the CDN routes them to the nearest edge node
• Cache hit: If the content is cached, it's served instantly from the edge - no origin server load
• Cache miss: If not cached, the edge fetches from your origin and caches it for future requests

Result: Lower latency, less buffering, and your origin server handles a fraction of the traffic.

Not all CDNs work well for IPTV. Here are your best options:

• Cloudflare (free tier): Works for HLS/DASH streams via HTTP. Free plan has some limitations on video streaming.
• BunnyCDN ($0.01/GB): Excellent for IPTV, supports video streaming natively, affordable pay-per-use pricing
• KeyCDN: Pay-as-you-go pricing, good for medium-scale IPTV services
• Self-hosted CDN: Deploy AnubizHost servers in multiple locations as your own CDN nodes using Nginx caching

Build your own IPTV CDN using AnubizHost servers in multiple locations:

# Nginx caching proxy for IPTV CDN edge
proxy_cache_path /var/cache/nginx/iptv levels=1:2
  keys_zone=iptv_cache:100m max_size=50g inactive=24h;

server {
    listen 80;
    location /live/ {
        proxy_pass http://origin-server:8080;
        proxy_cache iptv_cache;
        proxy_cache_valid 200 5s;  # Short cache for live
        proxy_cache_use_stale error timeout;
    }
    location /vod/ {
        proxy_pass http://origin-server:8080;
        proxy_cache iptv_cache;
        proxy_cache_valid 200 24h;  # Long cache for VOD
    }
}
