In this tutorial, we will go through the steps to install SRS (Sipture Route Server) on Ubuntu Server Latest.
Before we begin, you need to create and log in to a Ubuntu Server Latest instance. You also need to update the package lists and upgrade any existing packages by running the following commands:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
SRS requires certain dependencies to be installed on the system. Run the following command to install them:
sudo apt-get install git build-essential libpcre3 libpcre3-dev libssl-dev zlib1g-dev
Fetch the source code from the official GitHub repository by running the following command:
git clone https://github.com/ossrs/srs.git srs
Next, navigate to the SRS directory and build the project using the following commands:
cd srs/trunk
./configure --with-ssl --with-research
make
After the build has completed successfully, install SRS and create the necessary directories by running the following commands:
sudo make install
sudo mkdir /usr/local/srs /usr/local/srs/conf /usr/local/srs/log
sudo touch /usr/local/srs/objs/nginx/html/version.txt
Next, copy the sample configuration file to the conf directory:
sudo cp conf/srs.conf /usr/local/srs/conf/
Edit the configuration file with your favorite editor and make any necessary changes.
sudo nano /usr/local/srs/conf/srs.conf
Finally, start the SRS service using the following command:
sudo /usr/local/srs/objs/srs -c /usr/local/srs/conf/srs.conf
You have now successfully installed SRS on Ubuntu Server Latest and configured it to your liking. SRS is a powerful open-source streaming server that provides many advanced features such as live transcoding, DVR, and more. Happy streaming!
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!
