Kaltura CE 16.4.0 released

jess · June 17, 2020, 5:09pm

Hello all,

The latest version is now available.

Kaltura CE was just ported to CentOS/RHEL 8.
Please note that this is a beta version and one must exercise judgement before deploying it to Prod ENVs.
The deployment instructions are the same as for 6 and 7 but the PowerTools repo must be enabled, which was not required for older versions.
Please pay special attention to the MySQL version limitation as noted here:

Or, if running a cluster:

# Deploying Kaltura Clusters

Below are **RPM** based instructions for deploying Kaltura Clusters.    
Refer to the [All-In-One Kaltura Server Installation Guide](install-kaltura-redhat-based.md) for more notes about deploying Kaltura in RPM supported environments.    
Refer to the [Deploying Kaltura Clusters Using Chef](rpm-chef-cluster-deployment.md) for automated Chef based deployments.

### Before You Get Started Notes
* If you see a `#` at the beginning of a line, this line should be run as `root`.
* Please review the [frequently answered questions](kaltura-packages-faq.md) document for general help before posting to the forums or issue queue.
* All post-install scripts accept answers-file as parameter, this can used for silent-automatic installs.
* For a cluster install, it is very important to pass an [answer file](kaltura.template.ans) to each script because otherwise, the MySQL 'kaltura' passwd is autogenerated by the installer. This is fine for a standalone server but for a cluster, passwd must be the same on all. 
* [Kaltura Inc.](http://corp.kaltura.com) also provides commercial solutions and services including pro-active platform monitoring, applications, SLA, 24/7 support and professional services. If you're looking for a commercially supported video platform  with integrations to commercial encoders, streaming servers, eCDN, DRM and more - Start a [Free Trial of the Kaltura.com Hosted Platform](http://corp.kaltura.com/free-trial) or learn more about [Kaltura' Commercial OnPrem Edition™](http://corp.kaltura.com/Deployment-Options/Kaltura-On-Prem-Edition).
