Open Streaming Platform is a free and open-source software that allows you to stream live and on-demand video content over the internet. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Open Streaming Platform on your NetBSD machine.
Before we begin, make sure you have the following prerequisites in place:
Open Streaming Platform requires some packages to be installed on your machine. Run the following command to install these packages using the pkgsrc package manager:
sudo pkgin update && sudo pkgin install ffmpeg py38-pip
This will update the package repository and install the required packages.
Next, you need to clone the Open Streaming Platform repository. Navigate to a suitable directory for cloning the repository and run the following command:
sudo git clone https://github.com/OpenStreamingPlatform/openstreamingplatform.git
This will clone the Open Streaming Platform repository to your local machine.
Open Streaming Platform is built using Python, and it requires some additional dependencies to be installed. Navigate to the Open Streaming Platform directory and run the following command to install the required Python dependencies:
sudo pip3.8 install -r requirements.txt
This will install all required Python dependencies.
Navigate to the config directory inside the Open Streaming Platform directory, and create a new file called custom.yaml using the following command:
cd openstreamingplatform/config/
sudo cp custom-example.yaml custom.yaml
Open the custom.yaml file using a text editor of your choice and configure it according to your needs. You can refer to the official Open Streaming Platform documentation for details on the configuration options.
Navigate to the Open Streaming Platform directory and run the following command to start the server:
sudo python3.8 manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000
This will start the Open Streaming Platform server on port 8000.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed and configured Open Streaming Platform on your NetBSD machine. You can now start streaming live and on-demand video content using Open Streaming Platform.
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!
