MediaHut is a web-based media server that allows you to stream your local media files to any device connected to your network. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing MediaHut on Arch Linux.
Before we proceed, make sure that you have a running Arch Linux installation with the following packages installed:
First, you need to clone the MediaHut repository to your Arch Linux machine. To do so, open a terminal and execute the following command:
git clone https://github.com/Fortyseven/MediaHut.git
This command will download the MediaHut repository to your current working directory.
Navigate to the cloned repository directory and install MediaHut dependencies using Yarn:
cd MediaHut
yarn install
Once the installation is complete, you can run MediaHut using the following command:
yarn start
This command will start the MediaHut server on your local machine. You should see an output similar to the following:
MediaHut listening on port 3000!
Open your web browser and navigate to http://localhost:3000. This will take you to the MediaHut web interface. From here, you can start uploading and streaming your media files.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed MediaHut on your Arch Linux machine. You can now stream your local media files to any device connected to your network.
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!
