In this tutorial, we will be sharing step-by-step instructions on how to install Streama from the GitHub repository on Fedora CoreOS Latest. Streama is an open-source streaming media server that allows you to host your own media content for streaming.
Before getting started, make sure you have the following:
As Streama runs on Java, the first thing that needs to be done is installing Java on your system. Run the following command to do so:
sudo dnf install java-11-openjdk
Next, install FFmpeg on your system. This tool is used to handle multimedia files, and it is required to be installed to make Streama work properly.
sudo dnf install ffmpeg
Clone the Streama repository from GitHub using the following command:
git clone https://github.com/streamaserver/streama.git
Now, navigate to the streama directory and run the following command to build the executable file:
./gradlew build
Once the build is complete, launch the Streama application with the following command:
./gradlew bootRun
When it first runs, it will take some time to download dependencies and start the application. Once you see the message "Started StreamaApplication" displayed in the console, the application is launched successfully.
Open your web browser and navigate to http://localhost:8080. You should see the Streama login page.
The default credentials are:
Log in using the default credentials and you'll be redirected to the Streama Home page.
You can now add your media files by clicking on the Add new TV show or movie button. You'll be prompted to enter media details such as the title, genre, actors, etc. You'll also be able to upload your media file here.
Congratulations! You've successfully installed Streama on Fedora CoreOS Latest. Now you can stream your media files from your home server and access them from anywhere with an internet connection.
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!
