How to Install Restreamer on Clear Linux Latest

Restreamer is a free and open-source application that can help you create live video streams from many sources such as mobile cameras, desktop cameras, and other IP cameras. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Restreamer on Clear Linux Latest.

Prerequisites

Before we start, make sure you have the following:

• A server or a VPS running Clear Linux Latest.
• A user account with sudo access.
• An active internet connection.

Step 1: Update the System

First, we need to update the system packages to the latest version. Open the terminal and execute the following command:

sudo swupd update

This command will update the system packages to the latest version.

Step 2: Install Docker

Restreamer is built on Docker, so we must install Docker on Clear Linux first. Execute the following command to install Docker:

sudo swupd bundle-add containers-basic

This command will install Docker on Clear Linux.

Step 3: Clone Restreamer Repository

Now we need to clone the Restreamer repository to our system. We will use Git to clone the repository. To install Git, execute the following command:

sudo swupd bundle-add git

Now we can clone the Restreamer repository by executing the following command:

git clone https://github.com/datarhei/restreamer.git

This command will clone the Restreamer repository to the current working directory.

Step 4: Build Restreamer Docker Image

After cloning the Restreamer repository, we can build the Restreamer Docker image by executing the following command:

cd restreamer
sudo docker build -t datarhei/restreamer .

This command builds the Restreamer Docker image and tags it as datarhei/restreamer.

Step 5: Start Restreamer

Now we can start Restreamer by executing the following command:

sudo docker run -d --name restreamer -p 8080:8080 -v `pwd`/config:/opt/config datarhei/restreamer

This command starts Restreamer in a Docker container named restreamer. It maps port 8080 from the container to the host port 8080. It also mounts the configuration directory to /opt/config inside the container.

Step 6: Access Restreamer Web Interface

Now we can access Restreamer web interface by opening a web browser and typing the following URL:

http://<your-server-ip>:8080

This will take you to the Restreamer web interface where you can configure the sources and start streaming.

Conclusion

We have successfully installed Restreamer on Clear Linux Latest by following these steps. Restreamer is a powerful application that can help you create live video streams from various sources. You can now start experimenting with Restreamer and create amazing video streams.
