# Project Overview

This project provides a Bash script `install_nginx_rtmp.sh` to set up an Nginx server with the RTMP module, enabling live streaming on Twitch and YouTube. It also includes firewall configuration for server security.

## Installation & Usage

### Prerequisites

* An Debian server with root access
* Twitch and YouTube stream keys
* IP address of the machine authorized to publish and read the stream

### Installation

1. Run the script as root:

   ```bash
   sudo bash install_nginx_rtmp.sh
   ```

   Follow the on-screen instructions.

### Usage

1. Configure your streaming software (e.g., OBS) to send the RTMP stream to:

   ```
   rtmp://<server_ip_address>/live
   ```

   The stream will be automatically broadcast on Twitch and YouTube.

2. Play the stream locally on VLC:

   * Go to `Media > Open Network Stream...`
   * Enter `rtmp://<server_ip_address>/live`

## Important Notes

* Ensure ports 1935 and 22 are open in your external firewall.
* This script is an example; adapt it to your specific needs.
* Live streaming consumes significant bandwidth.
