Install guide

What you need

A Linux server that you rent or own, with a common 64-bit distribution and a public internet address.
A domain you control, with a name for the control panel pointed at the server; the installer gets its HTTPS certificate for you.
Docker with its Compose plugin: the control panel and its database run in containers.
The web ports (80 and 443) open to the internet, and administrator access to the server.
Room to grow: more disk, or S3-compatible storage, when you keep catch-up and a video library.

Create your account
Sign up in the customer portal and start your free trial: you get a licence key for your installation.
Run the installer
It checks the server, sets up the control panel, its database and its HTTPS certificate, and starts them.
Sign in and secure it
Sign in as the owner, turn on two-factor authentication and enter your licence key in the panel.
Add servers and content
Add relay servers near your viewers, bring in your channels and videos, and build your apps.

Your welcome email and the customer portal give you the exact steps and the installer for your installation.

It runs on your own server for 30 days, with the trial's limits and features.
Each account has one trial.
Afterwards the control panel keeps running on the free plan's limits until you choose a plan: nothing that runs stops.
