This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing MistServer, an open-source live streaming server, on Alpine Linux Latest.
Before we begin, ensure that you have:
MistServer requires some dependencies to be installed on the system. You can install them using the following command:
sudo apk add gcc g++ make cmake git ffmpeg-dev
To clone the MistServer repository, run the following command:
sudo git clone https://github.com/DDVTECH/mistserver.git /opt/mistserver
Navigate to the MistServer directory:
cd /opt/mistserver
Create a build directory inside the MistServer directory:
sudo mkdir build
Change the working directory to the build directory:
cd build
Generate the Makefile using CMake:
sudo cmake ..
Build and install MistServer:
sudo make && sudo make install
Copy the example configuration file to the configuration directory:
sudo cp /opt/mistserver/src/mistserver.conf /opt/mistserver/mistserver.conf
Configure the server using a text editor of your choice:
sudo nano /opt/mistserver/mistserver.conf
Start the MistServer service:
sudo mistserver
MistServer should now be running on your system. To verify the installation, navigate to http://localhost:4242/status in a web browser. You should see the MistServer status page.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed MistServer on Alpine Linux Latest.
