ClipBucket is an open source media and video management system, available in both free and paid versions. With ClipBucket, you can launch your own multi-screen branded Video-On-Demand (VOD) content. ClipBucket has LDAP integration through which you can setup your Ad credentials. A revenue sharing system in ClipBucket also allows you to manage RPM (revenue per thousand impressions) by regions.
ClipBucket does not restrict its installation to any specific operating system (OS). You can use any operating system (OS) of your choice; however, the installation steps would vary according to the choice of operating system.
In this tutorial, we will be installing and configuring ClipBucket and Nginx on an Alibaba Cloud Elastic Compute Service (ECS) instance with CentOS 7.
For ClipBucket, you will require some backend multimedia software like FFmpeg and MP4Box. These software are needed to convert uploaded videos so they are compatible with the backend. These software are not available in Epel release or CentOS official repositories.

CentOS has MariaDB by default. The version for Maria DB by default is 5.5.x available in default repository in CentOS. In order to install latest version of MariaDB server, you will be required to add MariaDB RPM repository. For latest version, follow the steps:
To create a custom file MariaDB.repo in /etc/yum.repos.d/ directory by executing the following sed command.
sudo su -c "echo -e '[mariadb]nname = MariaDBnbaseurl = http://yum.mariadb.org/10.2/centos7-amd64ngpgkey=https://yum.mariadb.org/RPM-GPG-KEY-MariaDBngpgcheck=1' > /etc/yum.repos.d/MariaDB.repo"
sudo yum install MariaDB-server -y
sudo systemctl start mariadb
sudo systemctl enable mariadb
sudo mysql_secure_installation
