Installing the Brew Mixer

Install on a standalone RedPro server using Ubuntu 22.04.

Navigate to the brewmixer directory inside the red5pro/extras/ folder and run the standalone deployment script:

cd /usr/local/red5pro/extras/brewmixer/

sudo node-mixer-standalone-deploy.sh

This script installs the Brew Mixer components and also performs some basic configuration steps. When the script has finished, restart your Red5Pro server (e.g., with sudo systemctl restart red5pro).

Installation is complete.

Steps Performed

The install script performed several steps, explained here. If you just wish to try out the mixer, skip ahead to Testing below.

Plugin Deployed

The plugin JAR is copied to red5pro/plugins/, and the native components are unzipped into red5pro/plugins/nodemixer/.

Webapp Deployed

The red5pro/brewmixer/brewmixer/ folder (an exploded WAR) is copied into red5pro/webapps/.

Standalone Configuration Applied

The script configures the cluster node type to off, disabling the Cluster Plugin. This prevents irrelevant cluster-related errors. Using the off cluster node type rather than auto also prevents certain cluster-only operations from occurring and disables digest security in the BrewMixer API.

Testing
