MistServer is a high-performance media server that allows you to stream live and on-demand video and audio content. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the installation of MistServer on EndeavourOS Latest.
Before we begin, you'll need to ensure that your system meets the following requirements:
Before installing MistServer, it is recommended to update the system packages to the latest version. To do this, open the terminal and enter the following command:
sudo pacman -Syu
Wait for the update process to complete, and then move to the next step.
MistServer is not available in the default EndeavourOS repository, so we need to add the MistServer repository to the system. To do this, follow the below steps:
sudo pacman -Syyu
sudo pacman -S mistserver
Once the installation is complete, you can check if MistServer is running or not by entering the following command:
mistserver-console
After installation, MistServer will be configured with some default settings. However, you may want to configure some settings like adding new sources, changing source transcode settings, etc. You can do this by editing the MistServer configuration file. The main configuration file for MistServer is located at:
/usr/local/mistserver/mistserver.conf
You can edit this file by using your favorite text editor such as nano or vi.
To start the MistServer service, enter the following command:
sudo systemctl start mistserver
To check the status of the MistServer service, enter the following command:
sudo systemctl status mistserver
If everything is properly configured, you'll see the following status:
● mistserver.service - MistServer media streaming server
