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:

   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.
