This was tested on CentOS 7.
1. SELinux is disabled
2. Install Java:
yum install java-1.7.0-openjdk
3. Install necessary repositories for ffmpeg:
yum -y install http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/7/x86_64/e/epel-release-7-5.noarch.rpm yum -y install http://li.nux.ro/download/nux/dextop/el7/x86_64/nux-dextop-release-0-5.el7.nux.noarch.rpm yum -y install http://linuxdownload.adobe.com/linux/x86_64/adobe-release-x86_64-1.0-1.noarch.rpm
4. Install ffmpeg:
yum install ffmpeg
Always check http://www.serviio.org/download for the latest version first.
wget http://download.serviio.org/releases/serviio-1.4.1.2-linux.tar.gz tar -C /opt -zxvf serviio-1.4.1.2-linux.tar.gz mv /opt/serviio-1.4.1.2 /opt/serviio
useradd -d /opt/serviio -r serviio chown -R serviio:serviio /opt/serviio passwd serviio //enter a secure password you just have to remember for one login//
After the password for the user serviio is set, please logon and logoff with this user via console or ssh. If you won't, user serviio won't have any access to directories you want to share.
Create systemd service file:
touch /lib/systemd/system/serviio.service
File /lib/systemd/system/serviio.service needs the following content:
[Unit] Description=Serviio Server Daemon After=syslog.target network.target [Service] User=serviio Type=simple ExecStart=/opt/serviio/bin/serviio.sh [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target
Enable Serviio Service on Linux startup:
systemctl daemon-reload systemctl enable serviio
Start Serviio Service:
systemctl start serviio
1. Register Serviio as a configurable firewall package
Create firewall configuration file / etc/ firewalld/services/serviio.xml (Sorry for the blanks in the path above, but unfortunately this wiki says 'access denied' when trying to code subdirs of etc without blanks)
File needs the following content:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <service version="1.0"> <short>serviio</short> <description>Serviio Server</description> <port port="8895" protocol="udp"/> <port port="8895" protocol="tcp"/> <port port="1900" protocol="udp"/> <port port="1900" protocol="tcp"/> <port port="23423" protocol="udp"/> <port port="23423" protocol="tcp"/> <port port="23424" protocol="udp"/> <port port="23424" protocol="tcp"/> </service>
2. Open Firewall for Serviio:
systemctl stop firewalld systemctl start firewalld firewall-cmd --permanent --zone=public --add-service=serviio firewall-cmd --reload
