Nginx is currently one of the most popular web servers in the entire world and a lot of the largest and highest traffic sites on the internet use it. It is resource-friendly in comparison to Apache in many cases and could be used as a web server.
In this tutorial we will teach you how to install Nginx-RTMP on your Ubuntu 16.04 server or any other Ubuntu versions, this tutorial will work on multiple.
Requirements
Before starting the tutorial, you will need to have a non-root user with sudo privileges configured on your server.
Once you have an account available, log in as your non-root user or root-user to start.
Installing Nginx
Nginx exists in Ubuntu’s repositories, therefore the installation is pretty straight forward.
Install the tools needed to compile Nginx and Nginx-RTMP from source.
sudo apt-get install build-essential libpcre3 libpcre3-dev libssl-dev
Next, start downloading Nginx and Nginx RTMP source.
wget http://nginx.org/download/nginx-1.7.5.tar.gz wget https://github.com/arut/nginx-rtmp-module/archive/master.zip
Now extract Nginx and Nginx-RTMP source.
tar -zxvf nginx-1.7.5.tar.gz unzip master.zip
Change to the Nginx directory.
cd nginx-1.7.5
Append modules which Nginx is going to be compiled with. Nginx-RTMP is a part of this.
./configure --with-http_ssl_module --add-module=../nginx-rtmp-module-master
For the final steps, compile and install Nginx with Nginx-RTMP.
make sudo make install
Next, install the Nginx init scripts.
sudo wget https://raw.github.com/JasonGiedymin/nginx-init-ubuntu/master/nginx -O /etc/init.d/nginx sudo chmod +x /etc/init.d/nginx sudo update-rc.d nginx defaults
Then it is time to upgrade the package lists.
sudo apt-get update
Then it is time to upgrade the package lists.
sudo apt-get install ffmpeg
Setup Nginx on Ubuntu to Stream Live HLS Video., this will make it playable on mobile devices.
Begin with creating the directory structures needed in order to hold the live and mobile HLS manifests and video fragments.
sudo mkdir /HLS sudo mkdir /HLS/live sudo mkdir /HLS/mobile sudo mkdir /video_recordings sudo chmod -R 777 /video_recordings
It is recommended to have your firewall turned on if it is not already. You will need to allow traffic into the ports used by Nginx and HLS. If you want to run without a firewall for now, ignore the ‘UFW’ section in the following.
sudo ufw limit ssh sudo ufw allow 80 sudo ufw allow 1935 sudo ufw enable
Next, open the Nginx configuration file.
sudo nano /usr/local/nginx/conf/nginx.conf
Delete the code and place this code below instead.
#user nobody;
worker_processes 1;
error_log logs/rtmp_error.log debug;
pid logs/nginx.pid;
events {
worker_connections 1024;
}
http {
server {
listen 80;
server_name localhost;
location /hls {
# Serve HLS fragments
# CORS setup
add_header 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' '*' always;
add_header 'Access-Control-Expose-Headers' 'Content-Length';
# allow CORS preflight requests
if ($request_method = 'OPTIONS') {
add_header 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' '*';
add_header 'Access-Control-Max-Age' 1728000;
add_header 'Content-Type' 'text/plain charset=UTF-8';
add_header 'Content-Length' 0;
return 204;
}
types {
application/vnd.apple.mpegurl m3u8;
video/mp2t ts;
}
root /tmp;
add_header Cache-Control no-cache;
}
}
}
rtmp {
server {
listen 1935;
chunk_size 8192;
application hls {
live on;
meta copy;
hls on;
hls_path /tmp/hls;
}
}
}
Now save the file to disk with CTRL + X and then exit.
Before doing anything else, we suggest that you take care of what is called ‘cross-domain’ restrictions, this would cause your ability to be shut down if you wanted to begin streaming to a webpage/website.
Create a ‘crossdomain.xml’ file located in the ‘nginx/html’ directory and place instructions in it to grant data to flow between domains.
sudo nano /usr/local/nginx/html/crossdomain.xml
Start by copying from this page and then pasting the XML data shown below into the Nano editor area.
<?xml version="1.0"?> <!DOCTYPE cross-domain-policy SYSTEM "http://www.adobe.com/xml/dtds/cross-domain-policy.dtd"> <cross-domain-policy> <allow-access-from domain="*"/> </cross-domain-policy>
Now CTRL + O to write out, afterwards CTRL +X to save the file to disk and exit.
That should be everything.
A bit of information about your servers:
FMS URL: rtmp://your-ip/hls/
– Stream Key: This is your choice and what you set it to is completely up to you.
http://your-ip/hls/stream.m3u8
If you set your stream key to movie then it should look like the below.
http://your-ip/hls/movie.m3u8
This is everything you will need to know.
