SRS (Simple Real-time streaming) is a free and open-source video streaming server that supports HTTP/HLS/FLV/RTMP/RTSP/RTP/Assist protocols for both Linux and Android platforms. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing SRS on Clear Linux Latest.
Before you start, ensure that you have the following prerequisites:
To install SRS, you will need to first install its dependencies. Run the following command to update the package database and install the required packages:
sudo swupd update
sudo swupd bundle-add devpkg-openssl devpkg-ffmpeg devpkg-zlib
Once the installation is complete, you can proceed to the next step.
Next, download and install the latest version of SRS by running the following commands:
git clone https://github.com/ossrs/srs.git
cd srs/trunk
./configure && make
sudo make install
The configure command will create a makefile according to the system specification and the make command will compile the source and generate executable binaries. Finally, make install will install SRS on your system.
After the installation is complete, you can now start the SRS service. Run the following command to start the SRS service:
sudo service srs start
To ensure that SRS is installed correctly and working, use a video player such as VLC to connect to your server's IP address via RTMP. You can also use the SRS demo HTML player by navigating to http://127.0.0.1:8080/hls/.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed SRS on Clear Linux Latest. You can now use it to serve your video streaming 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!
