3. Run it with `mediamtx /usr/local/share/mediamtx/mediamtx.yml` and test, adjusting configuration as needed.
## Daemonize the Stream
1. Create a service file: `sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/mediamtx.service`
2. Place the following in the file:
```ini
[Unit]
Description=MediaMTX Streaming Service
After=network.target
[Service]
ExecStart=mediamtx /usr/local/share/mediamtx.yml
Restart=always
User=nobody
Group=nogroup
WorkingDirectory=/usr/local/bin/
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
```
3. Reload `systemd`: `sudo systemctl daemon-reload`
4. Enable the service at boot: `sudo systemctl enable mediamtx`
5. Start the service now: `sudo service mediamtx start`
6. Check on the status: `sudo service mediamtx status`
7. Get more log info: `journalctl -u mediamtx`
## [Coming Soon] Accessing the Stream
# `mediamtx` and `ffmpeg` Configuration Information
### Paths Section:
- **paths**: This section contains the definitions for different streaming paths.
- **scanner**: This is the name of the path. You can name it whatever makes sense for your use case, such as `scanner`, `camera`, or `stream`.
