Auto install script it will no longer be available for free due to many abuses. Anyone who wants to use it can pay a minimum fee 0.99€

Stalker WM Portal road warrior installer for Debian, Ubuntu

This script will work on Debian, Ubuntu and probably other distros of the same families, although no support is offered for them. It isn’t bulletproof but it will probably work if you simply want to setup a Stalker WM Portal on your Debian/Ubuntu box. It has been designed to be as unobtrusive and universal as possible.

Localization

Ministra TV platform interface uses the following locales: Russian (RU), English (EN), Ukrainian (UK), Polish (PL), Greek (EL), Italian (IT), German (DE), Slovenian (SK), Spanish (ES). In default Ministra deducts the current localization variable from the main software and install the interface localization according to it’s variable.

To install Ministra portal localization by default it is necessary:

to create file custom.ini in directory ;

to copy in custom.ini the section from file ;

In this case Ministra portal will be loaded with English interface independently from the software locale.

Attention! The name of the locale used in the Middleware and the name of the server system locale should be the same.

For correct localization switching in Admin interface next locales should be installed on the server: , , , , , , , , , , .

Configuration of the Storage (separate server)

Necessary services & packets

(for TV recording)

(for «TV Archive», recording or VOD via HTTP)

Installation order

Create a symbolic link to the STB’s home directories in

Create a symbolic link of the folder with the archive to the root of server.

Create the necessary directories and symbolic links with one command:

10. Edit the file . The following server IP address with a portal is used as an example: 192.168.1.71. Sample file content :

where:
VIDEO_STORAGE_DIR — the directory for storing the Video club files;
KARAOKE_STORAGE_DIR — the directory for storing the Karaoke files;
RECORDS_DIR — directory with write permissions . In this directory, create a directory , where TV archive files will be created. See TV Archive settings.
NFS_HOME_PATH — STB’s home directory;
API_URL — URL to record channels from middleware. Usually it is
PORTAL_URL — portal address. It will be accessed by the storage to verify the access keys to the archive. For example,
STORAGE_NAME — the name of the storage specified in the admin interface.

To check it you can open your

is displayed on the screen.

If there is an error

, then you have the wrong configuration in

. Note!

— virtual directory! Do not create it manually!

12. In Admin interface of portal → Storage make next settings:

Name — . For example: ;
IP — IP address of storage, for example 192.168.1.100.

Home directory — . For example:

Read more about adding storage in the administration panel here.

«TV archive» settings

Before turning on “TV archive” option in TV channels, it is necessary to configure the «storage» . Attention! Only multicast streams can be recorded! Multicast streams should be available on the “Storage”.

Checking of the availability of multicast streams can be performed with help of

packet.
Example:

239.1.1.1 — IP address of multicast stream
1234 — port of a multicast stream
dump239.1.1.1.ts — file name with dump of multicast stream.

Received files can be played by any player (for example: VLC).

Make sure that memcached is installed and worked on the server.
In Admin interface in the Storage section from the Allow TV recording drop-down list, select the server program that will be used to make the recordings on the storage server.
While editing TV channel in Admin interface you can choose “Enable TV archive” option. See more here.

Security

User identification

First of all it is necessary to turn on module in apache. It allows seeing the real IP address of user while working in nginx and user restricting access in apache configuration file.

Turn on the module:

If you previously enabled the module, disable it:

Create the file on the path and add the following contents to it:

— address of your server.

To activate the settings of the module, you need to run the following command:

In the file, under the path replace the line:

to the following content:

Then restart apache:

Restricting access in Admin interface

To improve the security of Admin interface it is strongly recommended to use the same IP address for the opening. This can be set in apache configuration file,where portal’s host is described. After making changes it is necessary to restart apache.

STB — Authorization

Strongly recommended for the client portal’s access to use STB authorization by login/password, «Authorization with key» method.

Portal access limitation for new STBs

Beginning from 4.8.63 portal version there is option appeared, which allows closing portal access for all new STBs. To enable this option it is necessary to add in :

For old version in MySQL it is necessary to do:

After this all new STBs will have status OFF in admin interface.

Access control based on the set-top box model

Ministra allows you to differentiate the access to the portal based on set-top box model. The list of all models that are allowed access, is described in parameter of the configuration file. For example, you need to add support of WR320 model, all you need is to add in the line

For AuraHD set-top box there is a possibility of the strict model check (parameter ), in this case, it is necessary to completely specify the model. For example, access is allowed only to AuraHD International:

If the model supports recording on the local media, then you can additionally add it to the appropriate list

Simple authorization

Access to the portal organization for new STBs using login&password. Portal admin creates login&password and provide them to the user. While first loading there will be authorization window which requests login&password. After successful authorization MAC address will be adjust to login. Further portal loading will be without authorization.

For this it is necessary to:

2. In admin interface Users > Add — Add user, it is enough to specify login (unique) and password. MAC address field should be empty.

Authorization with key

Access to portal organization by login&password. Portal admin creates login/password and provides them to the user. While first loading there will be authorization window which request login&password. After successful authorization new key will be generating which is based on login&password. This key is stored on STB, which will validate while next portal loading. If the same login&password will be used for another STB than previous one will be un-authorized automatically.

For this it is necessary to:

In custom.ini add next

We are strongly recommend to pay attention to safety while API enable/use.

Recommendation about using:

Authentication (login&password) for access to API.
Strong passwords.
Firewall.

Billing

If it is necessary to turn on API for working with external billing systems then it is strongly recommended to use authorization. Specify the login and password in .

Storage configuring

On the storages, which are used for recording, it is necessary to specify API_URL parameter with login and password (in ):

Temporary URLs

If the Wowza temporary URLs are using for playing, then it is necessary to specify the login and password for work with API in the configuration of Wowza application. It is not necessary to specify them if nginx and VLC/udpxy are used.

API address setting in configuration file of Wowza:

TV channel monitoring

In script API_URL it is necessary to specify authorization URL:

Firewall

It is recommended to make access on 88 port (apache) for local access and access from storage, which are working with temporary URLs.
