Streama is a free, open-source media streaming application. It allows you to organize your media files and stream them to your devices over the internet. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the installation process of Streama on Void Linux.
Before we start, you need to make sure that you have the following dependencies installed on your system:
To install JDK, run the following command:
sudo xbps-install -S openjdk
To install MySQL or MariaDB, run the following command:
sudo xbps-install -S mariadb
To install Streama, you need to download the latest release from the official GitHub repository. You can use the following command to clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/streamaserver/streama.git
After cloning the repository, navigate to the streama directory and run the following command to build the application:
./gradlew bootRepackage
This will create a streama-*.jar file in the build/libs directory. You can run this JAR file to start the Streama server.
Before starting the Streama server, you need to configure it by creating a configuration file. You can use the following command to create a configuration file:
nano application.yml
Copy the following content and paste it into the newly created file:
# Application settings
server:
port: 8080 # Change this to the desired port number
context-path: /streama # Change this to the desired URL path
# Database settings
spring:
datasource:
url: jdbc:mysql://localhost/streama # Change this to the name of your database
username: root # Change this to your database username
password: password # Change this to your database password
# File storage settings
streama:
library:
path: /var/lib/streama # Change this to the path where you want to store your media files
Save and close the file by pressing Ctrl+x, y, and Enter.
To start the Streama server, run the following command:
java -jar build/libs/streama-*.jar
Once the server is started, you can access it by navigating to http://localhost:8080/streama in your web browser. You should see the Streama login page. The default username and password are both admin.
To add media to Streama, click on the Add Media button on the top right corner of the page. You can then select the type of media you want to add (Movie, TV Show, or Music) and fill in the required details.
Once you have added your media, you can start streaming it by clicking on the Play button next to each item.
Congratulations, you have successfully installed and configured Streama on Void Linux. You can now organize and stream your media files to your devices over the internet. If you face any issues during the installation process, feel free to consult the official Streama documentation or seek help from the Streama community.
