In this tutorial, we will be installing Restreamer, a live video streaming server, on Alpine Linux Latest.
Firstly, update the system packages using the following command:
sudo apk update
To install Restreamer, we need to install the following dependencies:
To install Node.js, run the following command:
sudo apk add nodejs npm
To install FFmpeg, run the following command:
sudo apk add ffmpeg
To install Git, run the following command:
sudo apk add git
After installing the dependencies, clone the Restreamer repository using the following command:
git clone https://github.com/datarhei/restreamer.git
After cloning the repository, navigate to the restreamer directory and install Restreamer using the following command:
cd restreamer
sudo npm install -g yarn
yarn install
Once Restreamer is installed, we need to create a configuration file. Copy the config.template.json file to a new file named config.json using the following command:
cp config.template.json config.json
Next, edit the config.json file with your desired settings. You can refer to the Restreamer documentation for more information on the configuration options.
Finally, start the Restreamer server using the following command:
sudo yarn start
Restreamer should now be running and can be accessed by visiting http://<your-server-ip>:8080 in your web browser.
In this tutorial, we installed Restreamer on Alpine Linux Latest, configured it with our desired settings, and started the server. You can now start streaming live video content with Restreamer.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
