The easiest way to install server streaming at home using Debian GNU/Linux 10 "Buster"
Intro
Software needed
We are using Debian Gnu/Linux www.debian.org with Apache server.
We are going to use VLC Media player to play the videos on the server.
How to do it
First Install Debian GNU/Linux on your PC.
Second Install Apache Server
apt-get install apache2
Create a folder under /var/www/html/
For this example I created a folder called “videos”
Under the folder “videos” I created sub-folders for each specific movie. For this example I used the movie: Spiderman
After creating your folders
Open your preferred Internet Browser
Type the IP of your Apache server, in my case:
http://192.168.1.35
locate the folder of your movie, in our case Spiderman, that is inside “videos”
After Open VLC
Click en Media
Click in Open Network Stream
Paste the IP of you movie and click Play
