AHA! #docker #nginx #mac Success!

After much logging and inspecting and reconfiguring you know what worked? (It's what always works!). Turning it off and on…

It's just a matter of turning the *right* thing off and on.

In this case, it was a matter of rebooting the webcam itself, which I really should have known because it has been unreliable at accepting new settings without a full reboot in the past. Weird that it was making the connection to NGINX but not actually sending data on that connection. The reboot of the webcam appears to have forced the data to be sent to the new proper docker address and on to Youtube.

Unfortunately I tried changing the stream key for Youtube before trying the webcam reboot which creates a new youtube URL, so I'll have to update my YouTube embed codes but oh well, it is worth having success with docker!

I feel much more comfortable working with docker now and understand the build/run workflow more now so I can start customizing my Dockerfile and be confident that I’m not going to miss anything.

Now I should be able to redirect all of my streams off of #footiMac and onto the slightly newer #imac2014 OR... most importantly, anywhere I have this docker container!

Woot!
Thank you everyone who gave tips and pointers along the way.
