How to Install Streama on NetBSD

Streama is a free and open-source media server that allows you to stream your media, whether it be movies, TV shows, or music, directly to your devices. This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing Streama on NetBSD.

Prerequisites

NetBSD operating system
Java 8 or higher

Installation Steps

Download Streama package from the official GitHub repository:

# ftp https://github.com/streamaserver/streama/releases/download/v1.13.0/streama-1.13.0.war

Create a directory for Streama:
```
# mkdir /usr/local/share/streama
```

Move the downloaded package to the newly created directory:

# mv streama-1.13.0.war /usr/local/share/streama/streama.war

Change the owner and group of the folder and package to the user running the Streama server:
```
# chown -R user:user /usr/local/share/streama/
```
Replace user with the user you want to run Streama with.
Create a file that will reference the configuration for Streama:
```
# touch /usr/local/share/streama/streama.properties
```

Edit the streama.properties file with the following configuration:

applicationContext.jdbc.driverClassName=org.h2.Driver
applicationContext.jdbc.url=jdbc:h2:/usr/share/streama/db/streama
applicationContext.jdbc.username=sa
applicationContext.jdbc.password=
grails.serverURL=http://localhost:8080/streama

Create a folder and a file to run Streama as a service:

# mkdir -p /usr/local/etc/rc.d
# touch /usr/local/etc/rc.d/streama

In the /usr/local/etc/rc.d/streama, copy and paste the following:

#!/bin/sh
#
# PROVIDE: streama
# REQUIRE: JAVA
# KEYWORD: shutdown

case "$1" in
start)
        echo "Starting Streama..."
        cd /usr/local/share/streama
        /usr/pkg/java/openjdk8/bin/java -jar streama.war
        ;;
stop)
        echo "Stopping Streama..."
        kill `cat /var/run/streama.pid`
        ;;
restart)
        $0 stop
        sleep 1
        $0 start
        ;;
*)
        echo "Usage: $0 {start|stop|restart}"
        exit 1
        ;;
esac
exit 0

Make sure to set the correct Java path if necessary, and replace JAVA with the name of the Java package installed on your system.

Change the permissions of the streama file:
```
# chmod +x /usr/local/etc/rc.d/streama
```
Start the Streama service:
```
# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/streama start
```
Access Streama from your web browser by entering the following in the URL bar:
```
http://localhost:8080/streama/
```

That’s it! You have successfully installed Streama on NetBSD, and you can now start streaming your favorite media on your devices.
