Starting Stream Configurator UI

The Stream Configurator UI makes quick and easy passline configuration and management possible.

Setting Up Stream Configurator UI

To set up the Stream Configurator UI, run config.sh in base mode. This runs the generate_stream_configurator_ui.sh script with default settings, intended to work with the default UVAP configuration.

The UI can be built with a custom configuration by directly calling generate_stream_configurator_ui.sh. Use the provided parameters to specify the output location and the Docker image used for the process.

Running config.sh

Note: For Stream Configurator UI to be built, the --demo-mode argument has to be set to base.

Building the UI this way results in the followings:

• The properties file is read from ../config.
• The UI is generated to location ../ui.
• The Docker image used to generate the UI is determined automatically by Git tags.

The following arguments provided to config.sh can be used to configure the UI:

Argument	--host-name
Description	Sets host name
Requirement	Optional
Default Value	localhost

Argument	--web-player-port-number
Description	Sets port number
Requirement	Optional
Default Value	9999

Running generate_stream_configurator_ui.sh

Stream Configurator UI can also be built by running generate_stream_configurator_ui.sh.

Use with the --help parameter to get more details.

Starting the Stream Configurator UI service

Prerequisites

To be able to display the video stream and topics, make sure the following components are up and running:

Note It is important that the components are started up in this order.

• Zookeeper
• Kafka
• MGR
• Web Player

To start the components:

1. Start Zookeeper:

   $ docker run --net=uvap -d --name=zookeeper \
     -e ZOOKEEPER_CLIENT_PORT=2181 ultinous/cp-zookeeper:5.4.0
   

2. Start Kafka:

   $ docker run --net=uvap -d -p 9092:9092 --name=kafka \
     -e KAFKA_ZOOKEEPER_CONNECT=zookeeper:2181 \
     -e KAFKA_ADVERTISED_LISTENERS=PLAINTEXT://kafka:9092 \
     -e KAFKA_OFFSETS_TOPIC_REPLICATION_FACTOR=1 \
     -e KAFKA_MESSAGE_MAX_BYTES=10485760 \
     -e KAFKA_LOG_SEGMENT_DELETE_DELAY_MS=1000 \
     -e ZOOKEEPER_CLIENT_PORT=2181 \
     ultinous/cp-kafka:5.4.0
   

3. Start MGR:

   $ "${UVAP_HOME}"/scripts/run_mgr.sh -- --net=uvap
   

   Attention First startup of MGR can be slow. Please consult Starting Multi-Graph Runner for details.

4. Start Web player:

   $ "${UVAP_HOME}"/scripts/run_uvap_web_player.sh -- --net uvap
   

Starting the UI

Only Google Chrome™ version 76 and later is supported.

1. Google Chrome™ version check:
