## Quick Start


## Setup LiveKit server on Linux

Please follow the following instructions to setup a LiveKit server to work with OpenIM Chat and OpenIM server on Linux server.

### Docker installation

For self hosting user, we suggest you install LiveKit server by docker pull. You can get a server ready for use in a short time.
To self-host LiveKit, start the server with the following Docker command:

```bash
sudo docker pull livekit/livekit-server
docker run -d \
-p 7880:7880 \
-p 7881:7881 \
-p 7882:7882/udp \
-v $PWD/livekit/livekit.yaml:/livekit.yaml \
livekit/livekit-server \
--config /livekit.yaml \
--bind 0.0.0.0
```

For cloud deployment, you may follow the [Deploy to a VM](https://docs.livekit.io/realtime/self-hosting/vm/#Deploy-to-a-VM) on [livekit.io](https://docs.livekit.io/).

### Generate configuration
## Viewing Logs

To generate configuration file for LiveKit server, please refer to [Generate configuration](https://docs.livekit.io/realtime/self-hosting/vm/#Generate-configuration).
To check the server logs and ensure everything is running correctly, use the following command:

The keys section of the generated .yaml file is the "apiKey: apiSecret" pair. This key pair should be set to the LiveKit section as the value of <font color="#FF8000">key</font> and <font color="#FF8000">secret</font> arguments.

### Generate access token for video call participant

Please refer to [Generating tokens](https://docs.livekit.io/realtime/server/generating-tokens/) on [livekit.io](https://docs.livekit.io/).
```bash
docker logs livekit/livekit-server
```

### Run it
## Configuring the LiveKit Address in OpenIM Chat

For self hosting user, you may start LiveKit with:
Update the `config/chat-rpc-chat.yml` file to configure the LiveKit server address:

```bash
docker run --rm \
-p 7880:7880 \
-p 7881:7881 \
-p 7882:7882/udp \
-v $PWD/livekit.yaml:/livekit.yaml \
livekit/livekit-server \
--config /livekit.yaml \
--bind 0.0.0.0
```yaml
liveKit:
url: "ws://127.0.0.1:7880" # LIVEKIT_URL, LiveKit server address and port
```
For cloud deployment user, you may follow the [Deploy to a VM](https://docs.livekit.io/realtime/self-hosting/vm/#Deploy-to-a-VM) on [livekit.io](https://docs.livekit.io/).
By following these steps, you can set up and configure the LiveKit server for use with OpenIM Chat.
