Installing Streama on Fedora CoreOS Latest

In this tutorial, we will be sharing step-by-step instructions on how to install Streama from the GitHub repository on Fedora CoreOS Latest. Streama is an open-source streaming media server that allows you to host your own media content for streaming.

Prerequisites

Before getting started, make sure you have the following:

  • A machine running Fedora CoreOS Latest.
  • An active Internet connection.
  • A sudo user.

Step 1: Install Java

As Streama runs on Java, the first thing that needs to be done is installing Java on your system. Run the following command to do so:

sudo dnf install java-11-openjdk

Step 2: Install FFmpeg

Next, install FFmpeg on your system. This tool is used to handle multimedia files, and it is required to be installed to make Streama work properly.

Clone the Streama repository from GitHub using the following command:

git clone https://github.com/streamaserver/streama.git

Now, navigate to the streama directory and run the following command to build the executable file:

./gradlew build

Once the build is complete, launch the Streama application with the following command:

./gradlew bootRun

When it first runs, it will take some time to download dependencies and start the application. Once you see the message "Started StreamaApplication" displayed in the console, the application is launched successfully.

Step 4: Accessing Streama

Open your web browser and navigate to http://localhost:8080. You should see the Streama login page.

The default credentials are:
