How to Install SRS on Fedora CoreOS Latest

SRS (Simple-RTMP-Server) is a powerful live streaming server. This tutorial will guide you through the installation of SRS on the latest version of Fedora CoreOS. These instructions assume that you are familiar with command-line navigation, editing files, and basic server administration.

Prerequisites

• A running instance of Fedora CoreOS Latest
• Root access to the server
• Basic command-line knowledge

Steps

1. Open your terminal session and login to your server using SSH as a root user.

ssh root@server_ip_address

2. Execute the following commands to update the latest repository list and delete old packages:

dnf update && dnf clean packages

3. Now, we need to install SRS dependencies. Run the following command to install all required packages for SRS:

dnf -y install autoconf automake cmake gcc gcc-c++ git libtool make openssl-devel pcre-devel yasm-devel

4. Once the dependencies have been installed, we can download the SRS source code from GitHub:

cd /usr/src
git clone https://github.com/ossrs/srs.git

5. Move to the SRS directory using the following command:

cd srs/trunk

6. Before we compile SRS, we need to configure it by running the following command:

./configure --full --with-hls --with-nginx --with-ffmpeg --jobs=2

Note: The --full flag will compile the complete SRS server, including nginx and ffmpeg modules. The --with-hls, --with-nginx, and --with-ffmpeg flags will enable those modules in your server.

7. After running the ./configure command, we can run the following command to compile and install SRS to our system:

make -j2 && sudo make install

8. To verify that the SRS installation was successful, we can start the SRS server by running the following command:

./objs/srs -c conf/srs.conf

9. Once the server starts, you should see a message similar to the following:

SRS started, please read http://blog.ossrs.net/srs_release/releases/srs-$VERSION/docs/srs.release.txt and https://github.com/ossrs/srs/wiki/v3_EN_Usage

10. Now, you can access the SRS admin panel by opening your web browser and going to http://server_ip/srs/srs-dashboard/login.html.

11. Enter admin as the username and admin as the password to login to the SRS dashboard.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed SRS on Fedora CoreOS Latest. You can now configure the server to start at boot time and start streaming.

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!
