# LMS - Lightweight Media Server
|
|
|
|
LMS is a self-hosted media streaming software, released under the GPLv3 license.
|
|
It allows you to access your music and your videos using an https web interface.
|
|
|
|
## Features
|
|
- Winamp-like interface, suited for large databases
|
|
- Audio/Video transcode for maximum interoperability and low bandwith requirements
|
|
- User management
|
|
|
|
Please note LMS is still under development and will gain more features in the future.
|
|
|
|
LMS is written entirely in C++. Therefore, it is suitable to run on embedded devices, where space and/or memory are limited.
|
|
Please note some media files may require significant CPU usage to be transcoded.
|
|
|
|
## Dependencies
|
|
### Debian or Ubuntu packages
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
$ apt-get install g++ autoconf automake libboost-dev libboost-locale-dev libboost-iostreams-dev libavcodec-dev libwtdbosqlite-dev libwthttp-dev libwtdbo-dev libwt-dev libmagick++-dev libavcodec-dev libavformat-dev libav-tools libpstreams-dev
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Build
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
$ autoreconf -vfi
|
|
$ mkdir build
|
|
$ cd build
|
|
$ ../configure --prefix=/usr
|
|
```
|
|
configure will complain if a mandatory library is missing.
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
$ make -j 4
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Install
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
$ make install
|
|
```
|
|
This command requires root privileges
|
|
|
|
## Running
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
$ /usr/bin/lms --docroot='/usr/share/lms/docroot/;/resources,/css,/images' --approot=/usr/share/lms/approot --http-address 0.0.0.0 --http-port 5081
|
|
```
|
|
It is highly recommended to run LMS as a non root user.
|
|
The exectuable needs write accesses to the /var/lms/ directory.
|
|
|
|
## Setting up SSL materials (optional)
|
|
Here is just a self signed certificate example, you could do use a CA if you want.
|
|
|
|
Generate a dh file:
|
|
```sh
|
|
$ openssl dhparam -out dh2048.pem 2048
|
|
```
|
|
Generate a self signed certificate:
|
|
```sh
|
|
$ openssl req -x509 -out cert.pem -keyout privkey.pem -newkey rsa:4096
|
|
```
|
|
Run:
|
|
```sh
|
|
$ /usr/bin/lms --docroot='/usr/share/lms/docroot/;/resources,/css,/images' --approot=/usr/share/lms/approot --https-address 0.0.0.0 --https-port 5081 --ssl-certificate cert.pem --ssl-private-key privkey.pem --ssl-tmp-dh dh2048.pem
|
|
```
|
|
Depending on your SSL parameters, you may be asked for the PEM passphrase to unlock the private key.
