ReadyMedia is an open-source media server that allows you to stream your media files on different devices within your network. In this tutorial, we will explain how to install ReadyMedia on Fedora CoreOS Latest.
Before we begin, make sure you have the following:
First, we need to install the necessary packages that are required to install ReadyMedia.
To install the packages, open the terminal and run the following command:
sudo dnf install gcc glibc-devel glib2-devel libexif-devel libjpeg-devel libid3tag-devel libuuid-devel zlib-devel ffmpeg-devel
This command will download and install all the necessary packages required for ReadyMedia.
Next, we need to download and extract ReadyMedia. You can download the latest version of ReadyMedia from the following link:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/minidlna/
Once downloaded, extract the file using the following command:
tar -xvjf minidlna-<version>.tar.bz2
Replace <version> with the version of ReadyMedia you have downloaded.
Now that we have downloaded and extracted ReadyMedia, it's time to compile and install it on our system.
Navigate to the extracted directory using the following command:
cd minidlna-<version>
Next, run the following command to configure ReadyMedia for installation:
./configure
This command will check for all the necessary dependencies and configure ReadyMedia for installation.
Once configuration is complete, run the following command to compile ReadyMedia:
make
This command will compile ReadyMedia and create the necessary files.
Finally, install ReadyMedia by running the following command:
sudo make install
Now that we have installed ReadyMedia on our system, we need to configure it to stream our media files.
Open the file minidlna.conf located in the directory /usr/local/etc/ using your preferred text editor:
sudo vi /usr/local/etc/minidlna.conf
In this file, you can configure various settings such as the media directory, media files types, and streaming options.
Once you have made the necessary changes, save and exit the file.
Now that we have configured ReadyMedia, we can start the ReadyMedia service by running the following command:
sudo systemctl enable minidlna
sudo systemctl start minidlna
These commands will enable and start the ReadyMedia service on your system.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed and configured ReadyMedia on your Fedora CoreOS Latest system. You can now stream your media files on different devices within your network.
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!
