npm install node-media-server

create a file "app.js"

touch app.js
nano app.js

Copy and paste the code

const NodeMediaServer = require('node-media-server');

const config = {
rtmp: {
    port: 1935,
    chunk_size: 60000,
    gop_cache: true,
    ping: 30,
    ping_timeout: 60
},
http: {
    port: 8000,
    allow_origin: '*'
}
};

var nms = new NodeMediaServer(config)
nms.run();

Publish your stream using OBS
