Temporary project planned to replace MonaServer.

MonaServer is a lightweight web and media server customizable by LUA script applications. MonaServer supports currently following protocols:

• HTTP(TLS) with a rendez-vous extension (cmd RDV) to meet peers together (e.g. SDP exchange for WebRTC)
• WebSocket(TLS)
• STUN
• RTMP(E)
• RTMFP
• SRT
• RTP, RTSP (in progress...)

MonaServer supports advanced features for the following media containers:

• MP4
• FLV, F4V
• TS
• HLS
• ADTS, AAC, MP3
• SubRip, VTT
• Mona

Start MonaServer developments by reading the documentation

• g++ version >=5 (or compliant clang...)
• OpenSSL libraries with headers, usually dev-package named libssl-dev or openssl-devel
• LuaJIT library with headers, dev-package named libluajit-5.1-dev or prefer luajit 2.1 beta by building from sources:

git clone https://github.com/LuaJIT/LuaJIT.git
cd LuaJIT
make && sudo make install

• To enable SRT Protocol install SRT

Download or clone MonaServer sources and compile everything simply with make:

git clone https://github.com/MonaSolutions/MonaServer2.git
cd MonaServer2
make

To enable SRT Protocol define ENABLE_SRT variable

make ENABLE_SRT=1

Start executable :

cd MonaServer
./MonaServer

A Windows 32-bit and a Windows 64-bit zipped packages are provided to test MonaServer. However we recommend to build the github version from the sources for production use.

• Microsoft Visual Studio Community 2019 for Windows Desktop
• To enable SRT Protocol download and build SRT, put the header files in External/include and the libraries in External/lib and External/lib64 (with a d sufix for the debug librairies):

./External/lib>dir                 ./External/lib>dir
    srt/srt.h                                   pthread_lib.lib
    srt/logging_api.h                           pthread_libd.lib
    srt/platform_sys.h                          srt_static.lib
    srt/srt4udt.h                               srt_staticd.lib
    srt/version.h
    win/syslog_defs.h

Note: OpenSSL and LuaJIT dependencies are already included in the project.

Download or clone MonaServer sources, open Mona.sln project file with Visual Studio, right clic on MonaServer project and clic on Build.

Start MonaServer by selecting MonaServer project and pressing F5.

• XCode version >=8 and Xcode dev Tools which you can install using the following command :

xcode-select --install

• OpenSSL libraries with headers. The most simple way to install them is to use Homebrew:

First, install homebrew :

/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"

Then install openssl :

brew install openssl

• LuaJIT library with headers :

brew install luajit

Or prefer luajit 2.1 beta by building from sources :

git clone https://github.com/LuaJIT/LuaJIT.git
cd LuaJIT
make MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.14 && sudo make install

Note: Mac-OSX target require a MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET definition with make MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.X where (10.X is your macOS version), see this LuaJIT issue for more details.

• To enable SRT Protocol install SRT :

brew install srt

See Unix setup Build and Start chapters

MonaTiny is a version of MonaServer without LUA script applications. Setup is identical excepting that there is no LuaJIT dependency, just start executable file ./MonaTiny/MonaTiny

A Docker image is available on Docker Hub with the name monaserver/monaserver. See more at https://github.com/MonaSolutions/docker-mona

To run monaserver in Docker use the following command :

docker run --rm -it --name=mona -p 80:80 -p 443:443 -p 1935:1935 -p 1935:1935/udp monaserver/monaserver
