How to Install Streama on Debian Latest

In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Streama on Debian Latest.

Streama is an open-source media server that allows you to stream and organize your own media content. It is a platform that can be used to share films, TV shows, and other videos with your friends and family.

Before starting this tutorial, make sure that you have administrative access to your Debian instance and that you have an active internet connection.

Let's get started!

Step 1: Update Your System

Before installing Streama, we recommend that you update your system to the latest packages. You can do this using the following commands:

sudo apt update 
sudo apt upgrade

Step 2: Install Java

Streama requires Java to run. If you don't have Java installed on your system, you can install it using the following command:

sudo apt install default-jre -y

Step 3: Install Streama

Now that you have installed Java, you can proceed with installing Streama. Follow these steps:

  1. First, you need to install the Git client on your system. You can install it using the following command:

    sudo apt install git -y
    
  2. Clone the Streama GitHub repository using the following command:

    git clone https://github.com/streamaserver/streama.git
    
  3. Navigate to the Streama directory using the following command:

    cd streama
    
  4. Run the Streama installation script using the following command:

    ./gradlew bootRun
    
  5. Wait for the installation process to complete. You should see a message similar to the following when the installation is complete: Tomcat started on port(s): 8080 (http) with context path ''

Step 4: Access Streama

Now that Streama is installed, you can access it by opening your web browser and navigating to http://localhost:8080/. You should see the Streama login page.

Step 5: Configure Streama

After successfully installing Streama, you need to configure it. Here's how to do it:

  1. Enter your desired username and password to create a new account.

  2. After logging in, click on the "Admin" button at the top right corner.

  3. Click on the "Settings" button to configure Streama.

  4. Under the "Server" tab, you can configure settings such as the port number, context path, and database credentials.

  5. Under the "Video" tab, you can configure settings related to the video player and subtitles.

  6. Under the "Email" tab, you can configure Streama to send email notifications.
