MistServer is an open-source streaming media server that enables video and audio streaming over HTTP, RTMP, and HLS protocols. If you're looking to set up your own streaming server, MistServer is a great choice. Here's how to install it on MXLinux:
Before installing MistServer, you'll need a few things:
The first step is to add the MistServer repository to your MXLinux system. Here are the commands:
Open the terminal on your MXLinux system.
Run the command below to download and add the MistServer GPG key:
sudo wget -O - https://dl.mistserver.org/gpg.asc | sudo apt-key add -
Add MistServer repository to your system:
echo "deb http://dl.mistserver.org/deb ./" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mistserver.list
Update the package repository:
sudo apt-get update
Now that you've added the MistServer repository, you can install MistServer by running the following command:
sudo apt-get install mistserver
MistServer is installed and you can start it now by running the following command in your terminal:
sudo mistserverctl start
You can now open your web browser and navigate to http://localhost:4242/mistserver/ to access the MistServer web interface.
Now you can add your media files by navigating to the Streamer section in the left sidebar menu of the web interface. You can configure the streaming options and settings to match your requirements.
That's it! You have successfully installed MistServer on your MXLinux system. Now you're ready to start streaming your media files to a global audience. Cheers!
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!
