MistServer is an open-source media server that allows you to stream live and on-demand videos over the internet. This tutorial will guide you on how to install MistServer on Debian Latest.
Before proceeding with the installation, make sure you have the following:
Login to your Debian server and update the system to the latest version by running the following commands:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
MistServer requires some dependencies to be installed on your system.
sudo apt-get install libssl-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev libconfig++-dev zlib1g-dev libexpat1-dev libavcodec-dev libavformat-dev libavresample-dev libmysqlclient-dev libtag1-dev
Download the latest release of MistServer from their website:
wget https://mistserver.org/getmistserver.py
sudo python getmistserver.py
Now, install MistServer using the following command:
sudo dpkg -i mistserver_*.deb
After successful installation, start the MistServer service:
sudo systemctl start mistserver.service
If you have a firewall enabled, you need to allow traffic on ports 4242 (HTTP) and 1935 (RTMP) using the following commands:
sudo ufw allow 4242/tcp
sudo ufw allow 1935/tcp
sudo ufw reload
To verify the installation, go to your web browser and navigate to http://<your-server-ip>:4242. It should open the MistServer web interface.
