Streama Media Streaming Server on Ubuntu

2019-10-04 System @JS

My test platform: Ubuntu Server 18.10

Streama is a free self hosted media streaming server running on Java. Its features are similar to those of Kodi and Plex.

Requirements: user with root privileges or non-root user with sudo privileges.

Installation

$ sudo apt update -y
$ sudo apt upgrade -y
$ sudo apt install openjdk-8-jre
$ cd #
$ mkdir streama
$ cd streama
$ wget https://github.com/streamaserver/streama/releases/download/v1.6.1/streama-1.6.1.war
$ chmod +x streama-1.6.1.war
$ java -jar streama-1.6.1.war &

Give it a few seconds and wait until you see a line similar to the one below:

INFO streama.Application - Starting Application on ctx02vm with PID 15196 (/home/sysadmin/streama/streama-1.6.1.war started by sysadmin in /home/sysadmin/streama)
