Getting Started

Running with Docker

OvenMediaEngine supports the Docker image from AirenSoft's Docker Hub (airensoft/ovenmediaengine) repository. After installing Docker, you can simply run the following command:

docker run --name ome -d -e OME_HOST_IP=Your.HOST.IP.Address \
-p 1935:1935 -p 9999:9999/udp -p 9000:9000 -p 3333:3333 -p 3478:3478 -p 10000-10009:10000-10009/udp \
airensoft/ovenmediaengine:0.15.5

To use TLS, you must set up a certificate. See TLS Encryption for more information.

You can set the following environment variables.

Ports

Env	Default Value
OME_HOST_IP	*
OME_ORIGIN_PORT	9000
OME_RTMP_PROV_PORT	1935
OME_SRT_PROV_PORT	9999/udp
OME_MPEGTS_PROV_PORT	4000/udp
OME_LLHLS_STREAM_PORT	3333
OME_LLHLS_STREAM_TLS_PORT	3334
OME_WEBRTC_SIGNALLING_PORT	3333
OME_WEBRTC_SIGNALLING_TLS_PORT	3334
OME_WEBRTC_TCP_RELAY_PORT	3478
OME_WEBRTC_CANDIDATE_PORT	10000-10004/udp

Installation

Install dependencies

OvenMediaEngine can work with a variety of open-sources and libraries. First, install them on your clean Linux machine as described below. We think that OME can support most Linux packages, but the tested platforms we use are Ubuntu 18+, Fedora 28+, and CentOS 7+.

(curl -LOJ https://github.com/AirenSoft/OvenMediaEngine/archive/v0.15.5.tar.gz && tar xvfz OvenMediaEngine-0.15.5.tar.gz)
OvenMediaEngine-0.15.5/misc/prerequisites.sh

If the prerequisites.sh script fails, try to run sudo apt-get update and rerun it. If it's not enough proceed with the manual installation.

Build & Run

You can build the OvenMediaEngine source using the following command:

Ubuntu 18

sudo apt-get update
cd OvenMediaEngine-0.15.5/src
make release
sudo make install
systemctl start ovenmediaengine
# If you want automatically start on boot
systemctl enable ovenmediaengine.service 

Fedora 28

sudo dnf update
cd OvenMediaEngine-0.15.5/src
make release
sudo make install
systemctl start ovenmediaengine
# If you want automatically start on boot
systemctl enable ovenmediaengine.service

CentOS 7

sudo yum update
source scl_source enable devtoolset-7
cd OvenMediaEngine-0.15.5/src
make release
sudo make install
systemctl start ovenmediaengine
# If you want automatically start on boot
systemctl enable ovenmediaengine.service

In addition, we recommend that you permanently set environment variables as follows.

$ echo 'source scl_source enable devtoolset-7' >> ~/.bashrc 

if systemctl start ovenmediaengine fails in Fedora, SELinux may be the cause. See Check SELinux section of Troubleshooting.

Ports used by default

The default configuration uses the following ports, so you need to open it in your firewall settings.

Port	Purpose
1935/TCP	RTMP Input
9999/UDP	SRT Input
4000/UDP	MPEG-2 TS Input
9000/TCP	Origin Server (OVT)
3333/TCP 3334/TLS	LLHLS Streaming * Streaming over Non-TLS is not allowed with modern browsers.
3333/TCP 3334/TLS	WebRTC Signaling (both ingest and streaming)
3478/TCP	WebRTC TCP relay (TURN Server, both ingest and streaming)
10000 - 10009/UDP	WebRTC Ice candidate (both ingest and streaming)

To use TLS, you must set up a certificate. See TLS Encryption for more information.

You can open firewall ports as in the following example:

$ sudo firewall-cmd --add-port=3333/tcp
$ sudo firewall-cmd --add-port=3334/tcp
$ sudo firewall-cmd --add-port=1935/tcp
$ sudo firewall-cmd --add-port=9999/udp
$ sudo firewall-cmd --add-port=4000/udp
$ sudo firewall-cmd --add-port=3478/tcp
$ sudo firewall-cmd --add-port=9000/tcp
$ sudo firewall-cmd --add-port=10000-10009/udp
