µStreamer is a lightweight and efficient video and audio streaming solution that runs on a wide range of platforms, including FreeBSD. In this tutorial, we will walk through the steps required to install µStreamer on FreeBSD Latest.
Before we begin, make sure you have the following prerequisites:
First, we need to install some dependencies necessary for the compilation of µStreamer. To do so, run the following command:
sudo pkg install git cmake ninja meson gtk3
This command installs the git, cmake, ninja, meson, and gtk3 packages, which are necessary for the compilation of µStreamer.
Next, we need to clone the µStreamer repository from GitHub. To do so, run the following command:
git clone https://github.com/pikvm/ustreamer.git
This command clones the µStreamer repository to your local machine.
Now that we have the repository on our machine, we need to build µStreamer. Change your directory to the cloned repository and run the following commands:
cd ustreamer
meson build
cd build
ninja
These commands will build µStreamer from the source code.
After building µStreamer, we need to install it on our system. To do so, run the following command:
sudo ninja install
This command installs µStreamer on your system.
To verify that µStreamer has been installed correctly, run the following command:
ustreamer -h
This command will display the help menu for µStreamer, indicating that it has been installed successfully.
In this tutorial, we have successfully installed µStreamer on FreeBSD Latest. You can now use µStreamer to stream audio and video content from your system. For more information and configuration options, refer to the official µStreamer documentation.
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!
