How to install Streama without access to SSH #1153

Hi,

Is there a way to install Streama if SSH access is not available?

This is on shared hosting cpanel.

Thanks

Amal

I wouldn't install something like Streama on a shared hosting. Not only will they cap your bandwidth but potentially sooner or later take you down because you are slowing down other guests on the same host.

Go VPS or self hosted. There are VPS that can give you the same price as a shared host does, and you actually get something to work with. I personally use Webdock (not affiliated with), but there are tons of others, like Hetzner comes to mind.

And to answer your question: no - because you actually need to install things like Java, which on normal shared hosts will not only be unavailable but also, you'd need your hosting provider to do all SSH commands for you.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply. I am not looking at providing this service to the public, just for myself and family. So it would not be much of a burden on the bandwidth.

I was hoping there was a web installer or something of that sort.

Thanks for the info.
