LiveKit is an open-source communication platform and server. In this tutorial, we will go through the process of installing LiveKit on MXLinux Latest.
Before we start the installation process, you need the following:
Log in to your server or computer running MXLinux Latest using your user account credentials.
LiveKit requires several dependencies to be installed on your system. Open the terminal and run the following command to install these dependencies:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y build-essential git curl unzip
To download the latest version of LiveKit, go to the official website https://livekit.io/ and click on the "Download" button.
Once the download is complete, extract the downloaded package to your preferred directory using the following command:
unzip livekit-linux-amd64.zip
Now, you need to configure LiveKit. First, navigate to the extracted directory:
cd livekit-linux-amd64
Then, open the configuration file using your preferred text editor:
nano livekit.conf
Here, you can configure LiveKit to your specific requirements. For example, you can change the ports used by LiveKit by modifying the values for the rtc, grpc, and http sections. You can also enable SSL and set security options.
Once you have made your changes, save the file and exit the text editor.
Once you have configured LiveKit, you can start it by running the following command from the extracted directory:
./livekit-server
LiveKit should now be up and running on your server or computer.
In this tutorial, we have gone through the process of installing LiveKit on MXLinux Latest. You can now use LiveKit to host your own communication platform and server.
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!
