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.

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

Install the OvenMediaEngine Enterprise​

To install the latest version, run:

docker pull ovenmedialabs/ovenmediaengine-enterprise
docker tag ovenmedialabs/ovenmediaengine-enterprise ovenmediaengine-enterprise

Run OvenMediaEngine Enterprise via Docker CLI​

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

<strong>docker run -d --name=ovenmediaengine \
</strong>-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 80:80 -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.

Enabling GPU access​

If you want to use GPU devices inside the container, you must install the GPU-enabled image (ovenmedialabs/ovenmediaengine-enterprise:latest-gpu) and run OvenMediaEngine Enterprise with the --gpus all option as shown below. For more detailed configuration instructions, please refer to the official documentation.

docker run -d --name=ovenmediaengine \
--gpus all \
-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 80:80 -p 3478:3478 -p 10000-10009:10000-10009/udp \
ovenmediaengine-enterprise

Stop and remove the container​

docker ps

docker stop ovenmediaengine
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>
    ports:
      - 1935:1935
      - 8080:8080
      - 9999:9999/udp
      - 9000:9000

      - 3478:3478
      - 10000-10009:10000-10009/udp

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

docker compose up -d

[+] Running 2/2
 ✔ Network root_default       Created              0.1s
 ✔ Container ovenmediaengine  Started              0.8s

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.

Enabling GPU access​

If you want to use GPU devices inside the container, you must install the GPU-enabled image (ovenmedialabs/ovenmediaengine-enterprise:latest-gpu) and add a deploy section to the docker-compose.yaml file as shown below. For more detailed configuration instructions, please refer to the official documentation.

docker-compose.yaml
