µStreamer is a lightweight video streaming server designed for low-latency streaming, which can be useful in a number of different applications. In this tutorial, we will provide step-by-step instructions for how to install µStreamer on Ubuntu Server Latest using GitHub.
Before you begin, you will need the following:
Git is a version control system that is commonly used to manage software projects, including µStreamer. To install Git on Ubuntu Server Latest, run the following command:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install git
Once Git is installed on your system, you can clone the µStreamer repository from GitHub by running the following command:
git clone https://github.com/pikvm/ustreamer.git
This will create a new directory called ustreamer in your current working directory.
Before you can build and install µStreamer, you will need to install some dependencies. To do this, run the following command:
sudo apt-get install build-essential gtk-doc-tools libavcodec-dev libavformat-dev libavutil-dev libglib2.0-dev libssl-dev libjansson-dev libgstreamer1.0-dev libgstreamer-plugins-base1.0-dev liblivemedia-dev
This will install a number of libraries and tools that are necessary to build and run µStreamer.
With the dependencies installed, you can now build µStreamer by navigating to the ustreamer directory and running the following commands:
cd ustreamer
./autogen.sh
./configure --prefix=/usr/local
make
sudo make install
These commands will configure, build, and install µStreamer on your system.
To verify that µStreamer has been installed correctly, run the command ustreamer from the command line. This should start up the µStreamer server, which can be accessed by opening a web browser and navigating to http://localhost:8080/.
In this tutorial, we have demonstrated how to install µStreamer on Ubuntu Server Latest using GitHub. With the server installed, you can start exploring the many different applications and use cases for this powerful video 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!
