Open Streaming Platform (OSP) is an open-source, self-hosted video streaming platform that allows users to stream videos, live streams, and other multimedia content. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install OSP on MXLinux Latest.

Prerequisites

Before we begin, ensure that you have the following:

• A system running MXLinux Latest
• A user account with sudo privileges

Step 1: Install Required Dependencies

OSP requires some dependencies to be installed on the system before installation. To install them, open the terminal and run the following commands:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y curl git ffmpeg gnupg2

Step 2: Add OSP Key and Repository

Next, add OSP's repository key to your system's package manager. Open the terminal and run the following command:

curl -s https://apt.fury.io/openstreamingplatform/KEY.gpg | sudo apt-key add -

After successfully adding the key, add the OSP repository to the system:

echo "deb https://apt.fury.io/openstreamingplatform/ /" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/openstreamingplatform.list

Update your system's package list:

sudo apt-get update

Step 3: Install OSP

Now that the repository and key have been added, install OSP by running the following command in the terminal:

sudo apt-get install openstreamingplatform

This will download and install OSP and all its dependencies on your system.

Step 4: Configure OSP

After installation, you need to configure OSP before using it. To do that, run the following command:

sudo osp configure

This command will guide you through the configuration process, where you will be asked to provide various details such as database configuration, admin credentials, and SMTP settings.

Step 5: Activate OSP Services

Once the configuration process is complete, activate OSP services by running the following command:

sudo systemctl enable osp
