Guides - Deploy LiveSwitch through the Linode Marketplace
Quickly deploy a Compute Instance with many various software applications pre-installed and ready to use.
LiveSwitch Server is a self-hosted WebRTC live video streaming platform. It provides high quality and reliable streaming for both audio and video media. Here’s more from the publisher:
LiveSwitch is the most flexible video and audio WebRTC SDK on the market. Ultra-low latency meets advanced features for engaging with your audience. LiveSwitch offers a complete solution (front-end and back-end) to develop commercial WebRTC applications.
This Marketplace App deploys a back-end demonstration server, running signalling, media, and TURN together on a single server. It is designed to be tested alongside the official client SDKs for .NET, .NET Core, iOS, Android, Xamarin, Maui, Unity and more. To download these SDKs, see the Client SDK page on the LiveSwitch Developer documentation site.
Deploying a Marketplace App
The Linode Marketplace allows you to easily deploy software on a Compute Instance using the Cloud Manager. See Get Started with Marketplace Apps for complete steps.
Log in to the Cloud Manager and select the Marketplace link from the left navigation menu. This displays the Linode Create page with the Marketplace tab pre-selected.
Under the Select App section, select the app you would like to deploy.
Complete the form by following the steps and advice within the Creating a Compute Instance guide. Depending on the Marketplace App you selected, there may be additional configuration options available. See the Configuration Options section below for compatible distributions, recommended plans, and any additional configuration options available for this Marketplace App.
Click the Create Linode button. Once the Compute Instance has been provisioned and has fully powered on, wait for the software installation to complete. If the instance is powered off or restarted before this time, the software installation will likely fail.
To verify that the app has been fully installed, see Get Started with Marketplace Apps > Verify Installation. Once installed, follow the instructions within the Getting Started After Deployment section to access the application and start using it.
Configuration Options
- Supported distributions: Ubuntu 20.04 LTS
