In this tutorial, we will guide you through the steps to install MistServer on Fedora Server latest. MistServer is an open-source and versatile live streaming software that supports a wide range of formats and protocols.
Before starting the installation process, make sure your system meets the following prerequisites:
The first step is to add the MistServer repository to your system. To do that, follow the steps below:
sudo dnf config-manager --add-repo https://mistserver.org/rpm/mistserver-rpm.repo
sudo dnf update
Once the repository is added, you can proceed with the installation of MistServer by running the following command:
sudo dnf install mistserver
This command will install MistServer and its dependencies on your system. The installation process may take a few minutes to complete.
MistServer uses two ports for streaming purposes: port 4242 for the streaming server and port 1935 for RTMP traffic. Therefore, you need to allow these ports on your firewall to enable streaming.
sudo firewall-cmd --add-port=4242/tcp --permanent
sudo firewall-cmd --add-port=1935/tcp --permanent
sudo firewall-cmd --reload
After completing the installation and firewall configuration properly, you can start the MistServer service by running the following command:
sudo systemctl start mistserver
To check the status of the MistServer service, run the following command:
sudo systemctl status mistserver
If the service is running correctly, you will see the following output:
● mistserver.service - MistServer Streaming Server
Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/mistserver.service; enabled; vendor preset: disabled)
Active: active (running) since Mon 2021-08-02 16:25:53 UTC; 5s ago

Now, you can test your MistServer installation by accessing its web interface. Open your web browser and navigate to http://your_server_ip:4242. If everything is working properly, you should see the MistServer dashboard.
