Create Your Own RTMP Server using Linode

Create a 1 GB Nanode
Login and run “apt-get update && apt-get -y dist-upgrade && apt-get -y autoremove && apt-get autoclean”
Run “apt-get install libpcre3 libpcre3-dev build-essential libssl-dev git zlib1g zlib1g-dev ffmpeg”
Find the latest stable version of Nginx at http://nginx.org/en/download.html and then run “wget http://nginx.org/download/nginx-lastest.stable.version.tar.gz”
Run “tar xzf nginx-lastest.stable.version.tar.gz”
Run “git clone https://github.com/arut/nginx-rtmp-module.git”
Run “cd nginx-lastest.stable.version”
Run “./configure –add-module=/root/nginx-rtmp-module”
Run “make”
Run “make install”
Run “cd”

Replace the file with the below text and hit CTRL+X and then Y.
Run “reboot”
Run “/usr/local/nginx/sbin/nginx” (you must do this every time your server reboots)
Find your server address on the Linode panel Networking tab.
Use “rtmp://your-linode-url/live” as your server url and whatever you want as your key on your streaming application and then make sure to use “rtmp://your-linode-url/live/your-key” when opening the stream in VLC or whatever application you chose to view it from.
