Open Streaming Platform is an open-source platform for building live video streaming websites. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the installation process of Open Streaming Platform on Fedora CoreOS Latest.
Before we begin, you need to have the following:
Open Streaming Platform uses Docker for containerization, so you need to have Docker installed on your machine.
To install Docker on Fedora CoreOS, run the following commands in the terminal:
sudo systemctl enable docker
sudo systemctl start docker
To verify the installation, run:
sudo docker version
If Docker is successfully installed, you should see the version information.
Next, you need to clone the Open Streaming Platform repository on your machine. Run the following command in the terminal:
git clone https://github.com/openstreamingplatform/openstreamingplatform.git
This command will clone the repository into the current directory.
Open Streaming Platform requires some environment variables to be set. You can set them by creating a .env file in the root directory of the cloned repository.
cd openstreamingplatform
nano .env
Add the following lines in the .env file:
DB_USER=osp
DB_PASSWORD=osp
DB_HOST=database
DB_NAME=osp
SECRET_KEY=your_secret_key
ALLOWED_HOSTS=your_host_name
MEDIA_ROOT=/var/www/html/media
Replace your_secret_key with a random secret key, and your_host_name with the hostname or IP address of your machine.
Open Streaming Platform uses Docker Compose to start and manage the containers. Run the following command in the terminal to start the containers:
sudo docker-compose up -d
This command will download the necessary images from Docker Hub and start the containers in detached mode.
To access the admin panel of Open Streaming Platform, you need to create a superuser. Run the following command in the terminal:
sudo docker-compose exec web python manage.py createsuperuser
Follow the prompts to create a superuser.
Open Streaming Platform should now be accessible on the following URL:
http://your_host_name
Replace your_host_name with the hostname or IP address of your machine.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Open Streaming Platform on Fedora CoreOS Latest. You can now start building your own live video streaming website with Open Streaming Platform.
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!
