In this tutorial, we will guide you through the installation of mStream, a flexible and powerful media server that allows you to stream your music and video files from your computer to any device.
Before installing mStream, make sure that your OpenSUSE system has the necessary dependencies:
sudo zypper install nodejs npm git ffmpeg
Clone the latest version of mStream from GitHub using the command below:
git clone https://github.com/IrosTheBeggar/mStream.git
Once the download is complete, navigate to the mStream directory.
cd mStream
Install mStream dependencies using npm.
sudo npm install --production
Now, start the mStream server using the following command.
node server.js
The server should start and output something like:
mStream server listening on port 3000...
Open your favorite web browser and navigate to http://localhost:3000/
or the IP address of your OpenSUSE system on your local network.
If you are accessing mStream from a remote machine, make sure that you open port 3000 in your firewall settings.
Click on "Get Started", and you will be redirected to the mStream login page.
Create a new account or log in with an existing one.
Once you are logged in, you can start uploading your media files by clicking on the "+" icon on the left-hand side of the screen.
You can now start streaming your media files from anywhere by accessing your mStream account from any device with an internet connection.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed mStream on your OpenSUSE system.
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!
