This Fork: m1tk4/mistserver

This fork of MistServer provides RPM packages for it (mainly for my own use but you're welcome to them!) using GitHub CI build system and GitHub Hosting. Check out the "Releases" section to the right for links to individual RPMs.

The releases in this fork track development branch in https://github.com/DDVTECH/mistserver/tree/development

Getting MistServer onto your system

1. Make sure CRB, EPEL, and RPMFusion repositories are enabled on your server:

   # Rocky9/Alma9:
   dnf -y install 'dnf-command(config-manager)'; \
   dnf config-manager --set-enabled crb; \
   dnf config-manager --set-enabled devel; \
   dnf -y install epel-release; \
   dnf -y install --nogpgcheck \
       https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-$(rpm -E %rhel).noarch.rpm; \
   dnf -y install --nogpgcheck \
       https://mirrors.rpmfusion.org/free/el/rpmfusion-free-release-$(rpm -E %rhel).noarch.rpm \
       https://mirrors.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/el/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-$(rpm -E %rhel).noarch.rpm

2. Install mistserver RPM from https://github.com/m1tk4/mistserver/releases

3. If you need to be able to stream files other than MP4/TS install mistserver-in-av RPM.

4. Enable and start mistserver service:

   systemctl enable --now mistserver

5. Configure firewalld according to the outputs you are using in MistServer. Sample commands:

   firewall-cmd --permanent --add-port={4242,4200,8080,1935,5554}/tcp; \
   firewall-cmd --permanent --add-port={4242,8888,8889}/udp; \
   firewall-cmd --reload

Usage

Accessing port 4242 from a web browser will bring up a web interface capable of easily running most API commands for human-friendly configuration.
