How to Install LiveKit on Fedora Server Latest

LiveKit is a WebRTC-based video conferencing system. It allows users to build and deploy their own video conferencing infrastructure by providing a complete set of APIs and SDKs. This tutorial will guide you through the installation process of LiveKit on the latest version of Fedora Server.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, make sure you have the following prerequisites:

• A Fedora Server Latest installation
• An internet connection
• Superuser access

Step 1: Install Docker

LiveKit is built to run in a Docker environment. Therefore, we need to install Docker first.

sudo dnf install docker

After the installation is complete, start and enable Docker:

sudo systemctl start docker
sudo systemctl enable docker

Step 2: Create a New User

Create a new user for LiveKit:

sudo adduser livekit

Set a password for the user:

sudo passwd livekit

Step 3: Create a Docker Network

Create a Docker network for LiveKit:

sudo docker network create livekit

Step 4: Pull LiveKit Image

Pull the LiveKit image:

sudo docker pull livekit/livekit:latest

Step 5: Start LiveKit Docker Container

Now it's time to start LiveKit!

sudo docker run -d --name livekit --network livekit -p 7880-7890:7880-7890 -e "TZ=Asia/Shanghai" -v livekit-data:/livekit/livekit-data livekit/livekit:latest

The above command starts the LiveKit container using the latest image. It maps the ports to allow access to LiveKit and sets a timezone. -v livekit-data:/livekit/livekit-data maps the /livekit/livekit-data directory in the container to a data volume.

Step 6: Access the LiveKit Dashboard

Now go to http://localhost:7880 in a web browser to access the LiveKit dashboard. You will see the admin console, where you can manage LiveKit settings.

Conclusion

Congratulations! You have successfully installed LiveKit on Fedora Server Latest. You can now start building and deploying your own video conferencing infrastructure with LiveKit.
