Getting Started

Lumen can be installed in several ways depending on your environment and preferences.

Method Best for
Docker / Podman Quickest way to try Lumen — no host dependencies required
Ubuntu / Debian Native .deb package with systemd integration
Fedora / RHEL Native .rpm package with systemd integration

What You’ll Need

Regardless of installation method, you’ll need:

  • A machine running Linux (physical or virtual)
  • A modern web browser on any device to connect to the stream
  • Ports 8080/TCP, 3478/UDP, and 50000–50010/UDP accessible from the browser’s network

The embedded TURN server handles NAT traversal automatically. If you’re accessing Lumen from the same machine it runs on, no special network configuration is needed.
