Install Red5 RTMP Server Ubuntu

@nintysix96

Rough numbers above are placeholders for now , we will firm up the actual price and timeline once we confirm your server specs and current Ubuntu version. You need Red5 up and running fast, configured for real live streaming rather than just a default install that limps along. That means proper JVM heap sizing, right thread-pool settings, and firewall rules that don't accidentally block your ingest while leaving the box exposed elsewhere. The end goal is a clean OBS test stream hitting Red5 with low latency and solid picture quality , not just "it works" but actually works well. Here's how we'd approach this: - Red5 install: Pull the latest stable Red5 build, set it up as a systemd service under a dedicated non-root user so it survives reboots cleanly and doesn't run with unnecessary privileges. - JVM tuning: Adjust heap size, GC settings, and thread counts based on your server's available RAM and CPU. This is where most default installs fall flat, so we'll spend real time here. - Network and firewall: Open the RTMP port (1935) and any needed RTMPE/HTTP ports via UFW, lock down everything else that shouldn't be public, and verify with a quick netstat check. - Latency and quality pass: Configure buffer and keyframe settings in Red5 to keep glass-to-glass delay as low as practical, and give you specific OBS encoder settings that pair well with the tuning. - Test stream + docs: Walk you through a live OBS test so you can confirm it yourself, then hand over a plain-text document covering every step taken, port numbers, service commands, and the maintenance one-liners you'll actually need later. Once scope is confirmed we'll send a short written proposal with a firm price and delivery window. Want to jump on a quick call this week, or just drop your Ubuntu version and server specs here so we can start immediately? Best, 96 Studio
