Worker Setup

Setting up a new Worker

This guide assumes your workdir is /home/joscha

Install required dependencies on your System

apt update
sudo apt install git make wget
wget https://golang.org/dl/go1.16.4.linux-amd64.tar.gz # check if there is a newer version of go here: https://golang.org/doc/install
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/go && sudo tar -C /usr/local -xzf go1.16.4.linux-amd64.tar.gz
echo 'PATH="$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin"' >> .profile

Then log back in to your vm

Create a folder for recordings and logs

mkdir -p /recordings/vod
chmod 777 /recordings/vod
mkdir /var/log/live-worker

Get and install the worker

git clone https://github.com/joschahenningsen/TUM-Live-Worker.git
cd TUM-Live-Worker
make all
sudo make install

Get ssl certificates

Use rbg-cert, Let’s Encrypt or whatever else floats your boat.

Edit environment variables:

Create the file /home/joscha/worker.env
