Kurento Media Server
Open-source WebRTC media server: SFU/MCU calls, transcoding and recording.
Kurento Media Server is an open-source WebRTC media server and the media engine behind the OpenVidu platform. It builds real-time media pipelines from pluggable elements: a selective forwarding unit (SFU) and MCU for group video, transcoding between codecs and protocols (WebRTC, RTP, RTMP, HLS, plain files), recording, and computer-vision and augmented-reality filters. Applications drive it through a JSON-RPC control API over WebSocket (ws://) on port 8888, path /kurento.
Deployed from the NetActuate marketplace it boots ready on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS from the official public Kurento container. There is no license and no key. The WebSocket control API is unauthenticated by design, so restrict its port to trusted application servers (a source-IP allow list or an SSH tunnel); it is not meant to face the public internet directly.
Upstream project: Kurento (https://kurento.openvidu.io, source at https://github.com/Kurento/kurento), an independent open source project released under the Apache License 2.0. Kurento is not affiliated with or endorsed by NetActuate; NetActuate packages the unmodified official upstream 7.2.0 release container image.
