Quick Start

Before installing senta-streamer, make sure that ffmpeg is installed on your server.

To start using senta-streamer, you need to download the latest version. After downloading, you can install it on your server.

To start the application, you need to init config:

./senta init

Senta making config.json file in the same directory, where you run this command. You can edit this file and set the parameters (for example, username and password).

After that, you can start the application with the command:

./senta config.json

The application will start and you can access the web interface at http://address_your_server:8018 (you can change port in config.json file)

Next you can make senta as demon and set profiles and streams

Set as demon

To create a daemon (or service) in Linux-based systems such as Ubuntu, you can utilize the systemd tool. Here's how you can create a service for your application:

Create a new service configuration file in the directory /etc/systemd/system/. For example, you can name it senta.service.

Open this file in a text editor and add the following content:

[Unit]
Description=Senta Application
After=network.target

[Service]
Type=simple
Restart=always
RestartSec=5
User=root
WorkingDirectory=/root
ExecStart=/path/to/senta config.conf

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Note: /path/to/senta is the path to execute the senta binary file. config.conf is the configuration file.

Save the file and close the text editor.

Update the systemd service list to detect your new service:

sudo systemctl daemon-reload

Now you can manage your service using the systemctl command. For example, to start the service and configure it to start automatically on system boot, execute the following:

sudo systemctl start senta
sudo systemctl enable senta

Now your application will function as a daemon, automatically restarting in case of failure. You can use systemctl commands to manage this service, such as stop, restart, status, etc.
