Install Streamer + Encoder + Live (Nginx RTMP)

Just copy and paste this:

sudo curl -L https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/releases/latest/download/yt-dlp -o /usr/local/bin/yt-dlp && sudo chmod a+rx /usr/local/bin/yt-dlp && sudo apt-get update -y && sudo apt-get upgrade -y && sudo apt install  ca-certificates apt-transport-https software-properties-common -y && sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php -y && sudo apt-get install sshpass nano net-tools curl apache2 php libapache2-mod-php php-mysql php-curl php-gd php-intl php-zip mysql-server mysql-client ffmpeg git libimage-exiftool-perl libapache2-mod-xsendfile -y  && sudo a2enmod xsendfile && cd /var/www/html && sudo git clone https://github.com/WWBN/AVideo.git && cd /var/www/html && sudo git clone https://github.com/WWBN/AVideo-Encoder.git && sudo curl -L https://yt-dl.org/downloads/latest/youtube-dl -o /usr/local/bin/youtube-dl && sudo chmod a+rx /usr/local/bin/youtube-dl && sudo apt-get install build-essential libpcre3 libpcre3-dev libssl-dev php-xml -y && sudo a2enmod rewrite && sudo chown www-data:www-data /var/www/html/AVideo/plugin && sudo chmod 755 /var/www/html/AVideo/plugin && sudo apt-get install unzip -y && sudo apt-get install htop python3-pip -y && cd /var/www/html/AVideo/plugin/User_Location/install && sudo unzip install.zip && sudo pip3 install youtube-dl && sudo pip3 install --upgrade youtube-dl && sudo a2enmod expires && sudo a2enmod headers && sudo chmod 777 /var/www/html/AVideo/vendor/ezyang/htmlpurifier/library/HTMLPurifier/DefinitionCache/Serializer/ && sudo mkdir /var/www/tmp && sudo chmod 777 /var/www/tmp && sudo apt-get install --reinstall zlib1g zlib1g-dev -y && sudo mkdir ~/build && cd ~/build && sudo git clone https://github.com/arut/nginx-rtmp-module.git && sudo git clone https://github.com/nginx/nginx.git && cd nginx && sudo ./auto/configure --with-http_ssl_module --with-http_stub_status_module --add-module=../nginx-rtmp-module --with-cc-opt="-Wimplicit-fallthrough=0" && sudo make && sudo make install && cd /usr/local/nginx/html && sudo wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/WWBN/AVideo/master/plugin/Live/install/stat.xsl && sudo pip3 install glances && sudo apt install certbot python3-certbot-apache software-properties-common snap snapd -y

MySQL Password

After that, you need to set your mysql-root-password. This step has moved from Ubuntu 16 (password set while install) to Ubuntu 18 (password can be set anytime).

The most simple seems to be this:

sudo mysql_secure_installation

or

sudo mysqladmin -u root OLDPASSWORD NEWPASSWORD

or, if none of them work

sudo mysql
ALTER USER 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED WITH mysql_native_password BY 'NEWPASSWORD';

Replace NEWPASSWORD with your password.

Apache Virtual Host

Virtual hosting is a method for hosting multiple domain names (with separate handling of each name) on a single server (or pool of servers). This allows one server to share its resources, such as memory and processor cycles, without requiring all services provided to use the same hostname.

create the virtual host file

Open a terminal or a console and write the following commands

Go to your sites-available apache2 folder with:

cd /etc/apache2/sites-available/

Open that new file (mysite.com.conf) with your best text editor or use:

sudo nano mysite.com.conf

Copy and paste the text below into your mysite.com.conf file, do not forget to replace the mysite.com with your domain name

<VirtualHost *:80>
    DocumentRoot "/var/www/html/AVideo"
    ServerName mysite.com
    # ServerAlias www.mysite.com
    ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
    ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
    CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:443>
    DocumentRoot "/var/www/html/AVideo"
    ServerName mysite.com
    # ServerAlias www.mysite.com
    ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
    CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
<Directory /var/www/html/AVideo/>
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
    XSendFile on
    XSendFilePath /var/www/html/AVideo/
    AllowOverride All
    Require all granted
    Order Allow,Deny
    Allow from All
</Directory>

Enable the site as follows:

sudo a2ensite mysite.com

Restart your apache2 web server

sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

Install the SSL with let's encrypt

Install certbot

sudo snap install --classic certbot
sudo mv /usr/bin/certbot /usr/bin/certbot_old
sudo ln -s /snap/bin/certbot /usr/bin/certbot

Install the SSL

Run this command and follow the steps

sudo certbot --apache --register-unsafely-without-email --redirect

Install the certbot for Nginx

sudo apt-get install python3-certbot-nginx -y

To make sure you have the correct nginx.conf and the correct directories run those commends

sudo mv /usr/local/nginx/conf/nginx.conf /usr/local/nginx/conf/nginx.conf.old && cd /usr/local/nginx/conf/ && sudo wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/WWBN/AVideo/master/plugin/Live/install/nginx.conf && sudo mkdir /HLS && sudo mkdir /HLS/live && sudo mkdir /HLS/low
sudo mv /usr/sbin/nginx /usr/sbin/nginx.old && sudo cp /usr/local/nginx/sbin/nginx /usr/sbin/nginx
sudo mv /etc/nginx/nginx.conf /etc/nginx/nginx.conf.old && sudo cp /usr/local/nginx/conf/nginx.conf /etc/nginx/nginx.conf

Install the SSL for Nginx

sudo certbot --nginx --nginx-server-root /usr/local/nginx/conf --no-redirect

Replace the port number on the nginx.conf

sudo sed -i 's/listen 443 ssl/listen 8443 ssl/g' /usr/local/nginx/conf/nginx.conf 

Restart Nginx

sudo /usr/local/nginx/sbin/nginx -s stop && sleep 1 && sudo /usr/local/nginx/sbin/nginx

Open the site on the browser

Open your best web browser and write in its address bar: mysite.com
