Open Streaming Platform (OSP) is a powerful and flexible live-streaming platform that allows you to create, manage, and deliver video content via the web. In this tutorial, we'll guide you through the step-by-step process of installing OSP on Arch Linux.
Before we begin, ensure that you have the following:
First, let's update our system to the latest version using the following command:
sudo pacman -Syu
Enter your password if prompted and wait for the system to update.
Next, we need to install a few packages required by OSP. Run the following command:
sudo pacman -S git go ffmpeg
This will install Git, Golang (the programming language OSP is written in), and FFmpeg (a multimedia framework that OSP uses to process video and audio).
We'll now clone the OSP repository to our system using Git. Run the following command to clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/OpenStreamingPlatform/osp.git
This will download the OSP code to your system.
Next, we need to build OSP using Golang. Navigate to the osp directory using the following command:
cd osp
Run the following command to build and install OSP:
make install
This will build OSP and install it to your system.
Finally, let's start the OSP server using the following command:
osp start
This will start the OSP server and output the web address to access it, which will look something like this: http://localhost:8080.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Open Streaming Platform on Arch Linux. From here, you can configure and customize OSP to suit your needs.
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!
