LiveKit is a WebRTC-based video conferencing system. It allows users to build and deploy their own video conferencing infrastructure by providing a complete set of APIs and SDKs. This tutorial will guide you through the installation process of LiveKit on the latest version of Fedora Server.
Before you begin, make sure you have the following prerequisites:
LiveKit is built to run in a Docker environment. Therefore, we need to install Docker first.
sudo dnf install docker
After the installation is complete, start and enable Docker:
sudo systemctl start docker
sudo systemctl enable docker
Create a new user for LiveKit:
sudo adduser livekit
Set a password for the user:
sudo passwd livekit
Create a Docker network for LiveKit:
sudo docker network create livekit
Pull the LiveKit image:
sudo docker pull livekit/livekit:latest
Now it's time to start LiveKit!
sudo docker run -d --name livekit --network livekit -p 7880-7890:7880-7890 -e "TZ=Asia/Shanghai" -v livekit-data:/livekit/livekit-data livekit/livekit:latest
The above command starts the LiveKit container using the latest image. It maps the ports to allow access to LiveKit and sets a timezone. -v livekit-data:/livekit/livekit-data maps the /livekit/livekit-data directory in the container to a data volume.
Now go to http://localhost:7880 in a web browser to access the LiveKit dashboard. You will see the admin console, where you can manage LiveKit settings.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed LiveKit on Fedora Server Latest. You can now start building and deploying your own video conferencing infrastructure with LiveKit.
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!
