This guide will show you step by step how to install Nginx webserver & Certbot SSL certificates, the RTMP module, Ffmpeg on a Ubuntu 18.04 VPS server. It will then will also explain how to setup HLS live-streaming and create a webpage with Video.JS to show the live-stream.
I decided to write this guide after receiving a lot of questions and responses on a video or two that I made a while ago. HLS and SSL related mostly. So hopefully this guide will clear up all of those questions for you all. If not, please leave any questions at the bottom of this page or as comment on the Youtube page.

This guide contains 7 steps. I strongly advice to read through them all beforehand so you’ll know what you’re doing in stead of just blindly start copy/pasting everything, because that rarely works out like it should, in my experience. This looks like a long-ass guide, and it is in a way, but you could do this all in under 25 minutes. Anyways, it’s too long for this blog’s layout so click on the continue reading link below to read the full article and to see the video.
