Getting Started with Web Console

The configuration for the Web Console is managed through an environment variable file. When starting with the systemctl start ovenstudio command, it loads the environment variables from the following path:

/usr/share/ovenmediaengine/ovenstudio/system.env

Configuring system.env

The default configuration of the environment variable file is as follows:

OS_SERVER_PORT=8080

LOG_DIR=/var/log/ovenmediaengine/ovenstudio

JAVA_HOME=/usr/share/ovenmediaengine/ovenstudio/jvm/jdk-17.0.10+7-jre
info

If you have configured the Host IP, the following additional information is included:

  • OME_HOST_IP=Your.HOST.IP.Address

Environment Variables

If you prefer to use a different version of Java that you manage, modify the JAVA_HOME path accordingly and restart the Web Console.

Admin Password

The admin password for the Web Console is managed in a file. If the .admin-password file does not exist when the Web Console starts, it will be automatically generated, and the default password will be ovenstudio.

$ cat /usr/share/ovenmediaengine/ovenstudio/conf/.admin-password
ovenstudio
$

Change password

You can directly modify the .admin-password file to change the password as follows. The updated password will be applied immediately without restarting the Web Console.

$ echo 'new-password' > /usr/share/ovenmediaengine/ovenstudio/conf/.admin-password
$ cat /usr/share/ovenmediaengine/ovenstudio/conf/.admin-password
new-password
$
info

You can also change the password through the UI using options like "Change Password".

Apply Changes

If the Environment Variables are changed, you must restart the Web Console (ovenstudio) for the changes to take effect. You can restart the Web Console using the following command:

$ sudo systemctl restart ovenstudio
