Playing with usp origin to see if I can failover to an identical packager using docker containers and nginx load balancer.

Setup

• export your UspLicenseKey

  export UspLicenseKey=<you can request unified streaming for a trial license key for 7 days>

• add origin.test to your /etc/hosts file
• run the stack

  docker compose up

Playing Back

• wait a minute
• visit shaka-player
• make sure you enable insecure content (as we don't use https) for this

Testing

• try killing origin-1 packager from your docker dashboard. You should see no interruption in playback. You will notice that the active container id change
• try turning origin-1 back up. You should see the opposite of step 1 happen but it will take 60s as nginx config waits for 60s before trying origin-1
