Q: What are the technical requirements for hosting?


Dual-Server hosting for Miricam is included with our Premium Support Plan, along with free bandwidth, software updates and security. If you are interested in hosting Miricam yourself, here are the minimum requirements:


A: Miricam requires two distinct types of servers to function optimally: a standard LAMP server for web hosting and application management, and a dedicated streaming server r. Below are the basic requirements for each server type:


Standard Linux / Apache / MySQL / PHP Server Requirements:

  • Operating System: Linux (Ubuntu, CentOS, or Debian recommended)
  • Web Server: Apache or Nginx
  • Database: MySQL 8.0 or higher
  • PHP: Version 8.2 or higher with extensions such as pdo_mysql, curl, mbstring, zip, gd, and xml.
  • Memory: At least 8GB of RAM, though 12GB or more is recommended for better performance.
  • Storage: Minimum of 500GB SSD storage to accommodate web files, scripts, and database. Consider larger storage for growing data needs.
  • Network: A reliable internet connection with at least 1000 Mbps bandwidth for optimal performance and user experience.

Dedicated Streaming Server Requirements (Ant Media Server):

  • Operating System: Linux (Ubuntu 20.04 LTS recommended)
  • CPU: Quad-core (Intel i7, i9, Xeon or similar AMD processor) for small to medium-sized audiences; 8-cores or more for larger audiences and 4K streaming.
  • Memory: At least 8GB of RAM; 16GB or more is recommended for high-definition streams and large numbers of concurrent viewers.
  • Storage: At least 100GB SSD for installation and temporary files storage. Consider additional storage for recording streams or hosting on-demand content.
  • Network: A dedicated 1 Gbps connection is recommended for live streaming. Bandwidth needs may increase based on the stream quality and the number of concurrent viewers.

Additional Recommendations:
  • Ensure both servers are secured with firewalls, regular updates, and security best practices to protect against unauthorized access and vulnerabilities.
  • Consider using a Content Delivery Network (CDN) in conjunction with the streaming server for optimal delivery speeds and scalability to a global audience.
  • Regularly back up your data to prevent loss in case of hardware failure or other issues.

These requirements are a starting point and may need to be adjusted based on specific needs, the scale of your operation, and the expected number of users. Monitoring server performance and making necessary upgrades is crucial as your user base grows and demands evolve.
