Getting Started with Docker

To get started with OvenMediaEngine Enterprise using a Docker image, follow the installation steps.

Installation

Path

OvenMediaEngine Enterprise is installed in the following path within the Docker container.

Type	Path / Description
OvenMediaEngine	/opt/ovenmediaengine/bin
Web Console (OvenStudio)	/opt/ovenmediaengine/ovenstudio
Record Delivery	/opt/ovenmediaengine/delivery
Logs	/var/log/ovenmediaengine

Login to Registry

Before installing the OvenMediaEngine Enterprise Docker image, you must first login to the container registry. A valid License Key is required for the login, and this step only needs to be performed once during the initial installation.

VALID_LICENSE_KEY="Your.License.Key"

docker login packages.buildkite.com/ovenmediaengine/docker -u buildkite -p $VALID_LICENSE_KEY

Install the OvenMediaEngine Enterprise

Latest version

To install the latest version, run:

docker pull packages.buildkite.com/ovenmediaengine/docker/ovenmediaengine-enterprise
docker tag packages.buildkite.com/ovenmediaengine/docker/ovenmediaengine-enterprise ovenmediaengine-enterprise

Specific version

Run OvenMediaEngine Enterprise via Docker CLI

After the installation is complete, you can run OvenMediaEngine Enterprise using the following command:

docker run -d --name=ovenmediaengine \
-e OME_LICENSE_KEY=<Your.License.Key> \
-e OME_HOST_IP=<Your.HOST.IP.Address> \
-p 1935:1935 -p 8080:8080 -p 9999:9999/udp -p 9000:9000 -p 3333:3333 -p 3478:3478 -p 10000-10009:10000-10009/udp \
ovenmediaengine-enterprise

When running OvenMediaEngine Enterprise, you need to set the following two environment variables:

• OME_LICENSE_KEY: If an invalid License Key is entered, the container will not run.

• OME_HOST_IP: Setting the IP of the host server ensures smooth streaming and Web Console usage.

Stop and remove the container

docker ps

docker rm ovenmediaengine

Save configurations and data

Any changes to the configurations within a running container or log data being recorded will be deleted when the container is stopped and removed. You can use Bind mounts to persistently save the configurations and data inside the container.

Create a host directory

export OME_DOCKER_HOME=/opt/ovenmediaengine
sudo mkdir -p $OME_DOCKER_HOME/conf
sudo mkdir -p $OME_DOCKER_HOME/logs
sudo mkdir -p $OME_DOCKER_HOME/ovenstudio/data
sudo mkdir -p $OME_DOCKER_HOME/delivery/conf

# Set permissions for the created directory if necessary.
sudo chgrp -R docker $OME_DOCKER_HOME
sudo chmod -R 775 $OME_DOCKER_HOME

# If you want to use OME_DOCKER_HOME permanently, add the following line to the ~/.profile file for bash, for other shells, you can do it accordingly.
echo -e 'export OME_DOCKER_HOME=/opt/ovenmediaengine' >> ~/.profile
source ~/.profile

Copy the default configurations from the Docker container

After running the Docker container, copy the default configurations of OvenMediaEngine Enterprise using the following command:

# OvenMediaEngine files
docker cp ovenmediaengine:/opt/ovenmediaengine/bin/origin_conf $OME_DOCKER_HOME/

# Web Console(OvenStudio) files
docker cp ovenmediaengine:/opt/ovenmediaengine/ovenstudio/system.env $OME_DOCKER_HOME/ovenstudio/
docker cp ovenmediaengine:/opt/ovenmediaengine/ovenstudio/data $OME_DOCKER_HOME/ovenstudio/

# Delivery files
docker cp ovenmediaengine:/opt/ovenmediaengine/delivery/delivery.db $OME_DOCKER_HOME/delivery/
docker cp ovenmediaengine:/opt/ovenmediaengine/delivery/conf $OME_DOCKER_HOME/delivery/

Run using Bind mount

docker run -d --name=ovenmediaengine \
-e OME_LICENSE_KEY=<Your.License.Key> \
-e OME_HOST_IP=<Your.HOST.IP.Address> \
-v $OME_DOCKER_HOME/origin_conf:/opt/ovenmediaengine/bin/origin_conf \

Run OvenMediaEngine Enterprise via Docker Compose

You can utilize Docker Compose to easily define and efficiently deploy containers. For detailed instructions on how to use Docker Compose, refer to this link.

Create a docker-compose.yaml file

docker-compose.yaml

services:
  ovenmediaengine:
    image: ovenmediaengine-enterprise
    container_name: ovenmediaengine
    restart: unless-stopped
    environment:
      - OME_LICENSE_KEY=<Your.License.Key>
      - OME_HOST_IP=<Your.HOST.IP.Address>
