ChatPlus and Live Streaming requirements

We would like to remind you of some requirements which are necessary to know when purchasing our solutions ChatPlus and Live Streaming. So let’s dive in.

ChatPlus

In order to set up ChatPlus for you, we would like to get the following information:

• The admin user credentials of your phpFox site and the cPanel/SSH user credentials to the server for phpFox website.
• The SSH root access to the dedicated server or VPS where you want to set up ChatPlus. This server should be Ubuntu OS and different from the one used for the phpFox website.

ChatPlus Server Requirements

Minimum:

• Single-core (2 GHz)
• 1 GB RAM
• 30 GB of SSD

The above minimal configuration is fine for small deployments of 200 users with up to 50 concurrent users and minimal level of mixed uploads, sharing, and chat activities.

Recommended:

• Dual-core (2 GHz)
• 2 GB RAM
• 40 GB of SSD

The above configuration can accommodate small deployments of 500 users, up to 100 concurrent users and moderate levels of mixed uploads, sharing, and chat activities.

We utilize Docker to deploy the ChatPlus solution, so the server must have Docker and Docker Compose installed.

To avail ChatPlus solution, you need to purchase it separately as it is not included in phpFox License and its pricing is $999.

Live Streaming 

Live Streaming installation requires Mobile Build Service because our current live solution allows you to go live only from phpFox Mobile app. 

This solution uses MUX services to encode, store and broadcast live videos. Clients need to register and provide us with their MUX credentials to do the needful setup.

There is no requirement for the server to set up Live Streaming.

To avail Live Streaming, you need to purchase it separately as it is not included in phpFox License and its pricing is $799.
