Installation on Debian/Ubuntu

This instructions were tested on Debian Buster. You need to unable non-free repository to have AAC codec.

NGINX

Install NGINX server.

Copy 60-ghostream.conf module to /etc/nginx/modules-available/60-ghostream.conf. Then symlink this file to /etc/nginx/modules-enabled/60-ghostream.conf.

Copy ghostream site to /etc/nginx/sites-available/ghostream. Then symlink this file to /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/ghostream.

Restart NGINX.

You may need to generate SSL certificates. For the initial generation, you may comment the SSL rules and use Certbot NGINX module.

OvenMediaEngine

Install some required libraries,

sudo apt update
sudo apt install --no-install-recommends build-essential ca-certificates nasm autoconf zlib1g-dev tcl cmake curl libssl-dev libsrtp2-dev libopus-dev libjemalloc-dev pkg-config libvpx-dev libswscale-dev libswresample-dev libavfilter-dev libavcodec-dev libx264-dev libfdk-aac-dev

Then compile libsrt,

curl -LOJ https://github.com/Haivision/srt/archive/v1.3.3.tar.gz
tar xvf srt-1.3.3.tar.gz
cd srt-1.3.3
./configure --prefix="/opt/ovenmediaengine" --enable-shared --enable-static=0
make -j 2
sudo make install
cd ..

Then compile OvenMediaEngine FFMpeg,

curl -LOJ https://github.com/AirenSoft/FFmpeg/archive/ome/3.4.tar.gz
tar xvf FFmpeg-ome-3.4.tar.gz
cd FFmpeg-ome-3.4
./configure --prefix="/opt/ovenmediaengine" --enable-gpl --enable-nonfree --extra-cflags="-I/opt/ovenmediaengine/include" --extra-ldflags="-L$/opt/ovenmediaengine/lib -Wl,-rpath,/opt/ovenmediaengine/lib" --extra-libs=-ldl --enable-shared --disable-static --disable-debug --disable-doc --disable-programs --disable-avdevice --disable-dct --disable-dwt --disable-error-resilience --disable-lsp --disable-lzo --disable-rdft --disable-faan --disable-pixelutils --disable-everything --enable-zlib --enable-libopus --enable-libvpx --enable-libfdk_aac --enable-libx264 --enable-encoder=libvpx_vp8,libvpx_vp9,libopus,libfdk_aac,libx264 --enable-decoder=aac,aac_latm,aac_fixed,h264 --enable-parser=aac,aac_latm,aac_fixed,h264 --enable-network --enable-protocol=tcp --enable-protocol=udp --enable-protocol=rtp --enable-demuxer=rtsp --enable-filter=asetnsamples,aresample,aformat,channelmap,channelsplit,scale,transpose,fps,settb,asettb
make
sudo make install
cd ..

Finally compile OvenMediaEngine,

curl -LOJ https://github.com/AirenSoft/OvenMediaEngine/archive/v0.10.7.tar.gz
tar xvf OvenMediaEngine-0.10.7.tar.gz
cd OvenMediaEngine-0.10.7/src
# Ajouter dans projects/base/ovlibrary/AMS.mk et projects/modules/dtls_srtp/AMS.mk et projects/orchestrator/AMS.mk et projects/monitoring/AMS.mk : $(call add_pkg_config,srt)
make release
sudo make install

Copy Server.xml to /usr/share/ovenmediaengine/conf/Server.xml.

Now enable and start OvenMediaEngine, sudo systemctl enable --now ovenmediaengine.

Ghostreamer web server

On Debian you can install ghostream deb.

On other system, you might install manually the Python module and Systemd unit ghostreamer.service.

You might customize /etc/default/ghostream.
