So I don't suspect this is really that relevant for an active environment but looks like a fun build to try for #&#+$ and giggles unfortunately it is a bit over my head but I just hope someone finds it usfull so here it is.
Infomir-Storage Server Installation on Ubuntu Server LTS 16.04
Install Ubuntu server 16.04
Upgrade Packages
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
Install Required Packages
sudo apt-get install -y -u apache2 php php-soap python2.7 libapache2-mod-php
Unzip the folder Ministra.zip and copy the directory /stalker_portal/storage in /var/www/.
It will be like /var/www/stalker_portal/storage and files will be in storage folder.
Go to /var/www/stalker_portal/storage/ and run the following command
chmod a+x install.sh
./install.sh
Edit file /var/www/stalker_portal/storage/config.php
define ('VIDEO_STORAGE_DIR', '/media/raid0/storage/');
define ('KARAOKE_STORAGE_DIR', '/media/raid0/karaoke/');
define ('RECORDS_DIR', '/media/raid0/records/');
define ('NFS_HOME_PATH', '/media/raid0/mac/');
// Use login and password from the configuration file. (api_auth_login and api_auth_password in server/custom.ini)
define ('API_URL', 'http://login:[email protected]/stalker_portal/api/');
define ('PORTAL_URL', 'http://192.168.1.71/stalker_portal/');
define ('STORAGE_NAME', 'bb3');
define ('ASTRA_RECORDER', false);
define ('DUMPSTREAM_BUFFERING', 1); // set -1 for system default
where is:
VIDEO_STORAGE_DIR- directory for files of “Videoclub” storing;
KARAOKE_STORAGE_DIR- directory for files of “Karaoke” storing;
RECORDS_DIR- directory for files PVR and “TV Archive” storing; "TV archive" settings;
NFS_HOME_PATH- STB's home directory;
API_URL- URL, which will be used for channel recording request from middleware. Watch "TV archive" settings:
PORTAL_URL- portal address. At this address will be sent to requests from “storage” to check the keys to access the archive;
STORAGE_NAME- storage name.
If you change username and password for API authentication in custom.ini then you also must change it in API URL.
'http://username:[email protected]/stalker_portal/api/');
Where username is api_auth_login
Where Password is api_auth_password
Where x.x.x.x is IP Address of the middleware
Create following directories and give all directories the permissions 0777
/media/raid0/storage/
/media/raid0/karaoke/
/media/raid0/records/
/media/raid0/mac/
mkdir -p -m 0777 /media/raid0/storage /media/raid0/karaoke /media/raid0/records /media/raid0/mac
Create Directory /var/www/media/
mkdir /var/www/media
Create symlink to the STB’s home directories in /var/www/media/
ln -s /media/raid0/mac/ /var/www/media/<storage name="">
Let Suppose storage name is “bb3”
So
ln -s /media/raid0/mac/ /var/www/media/bb3
For Subtitles: ln -s /media/raid0/subtitles /var/www/subs
In Portal Admin interface go to Storage and add
Name - <storage name="">. For Example: bb3
IP - Ip Address of the storage server
Home Directory - <stb’s home="" directory="">. For example: /media/raid/mac/
Configure Apache Port in /etc/apache2/ports.conf
Listen 88
In /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/default.conf change <virtualhost *:80=""> to <virtualhost *:88="">
If there will be Tv Archive then it is necessary to add directive VirtualHost inside the block TimeOut 1800 and remove html/
File will be like:
<virtualhost *:88="">
ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
DocumentRoot /var/www
TimeOut 1800
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
</virtualhost>
Make sure that the package libapache2-mod-php5filter is not installed on the system. If necessary, remove it.
apt-get purge libapache2-mod-phpfilter
Install Nginx with extra packages
apt-get install nginx nginx-extras
Configure nginx in /etc/nginx/sites-available/default
geo $local_client {

Add Storage in admin panel Go to
Storage à Add storage à General Information tab
Mention Title
IP address of the storage server
Port of apache server
Home Directory /media/raid0/mac/
Maximum User
Add content in /var/www/media/bb3/
Configure inside the portal in Video club
TV Archive Settings
Checking of the availability of multicast streams can be performed with help of dumprtp utility. which is included in dvbstream packet.
apt-get install dvbstream
To check the streams are accessible to your system for recoding
dumprtp IP Port > dump(name).ts
dumprtp 239.1.1.1 1234 > dump239.1.1.1.ts
Install memcached
apt-get install memcached
In admin panel go to
Storage à edit current storage if using same VOD storage à Additional Information
select on the option storing content
Allow Tv Recording à Stalker DVR (Select Stalker DVR if using Stalker, Wowza DVR if Wowza, Flussonic DVR if Flussonic & Nimble DVR if Nimble)
Note: - Incase of using separate storage for PVR, add storage and fill in general information and additional information
At the storage /var/www/stalker_portal/storage/config.php necessary to setup (In case of Separate Storage, if using same VOD server, use those information)
RECORDS_DIR (directory with permission 0777, it will be created archive directory, which will contain all files of recording)
API_URL (which will record the channels from middleware. Usually it is http://IPAddressofMiddleware/api/tv_archive/)
PORTAL_URL (portal address. At this address will be sent to requests from “storage” to check the keys to access the archive)
STORAGE_NAME (storage name, which indicated in Admin interface)
Make Directory
mkdir -p -m 0777 /media/raid0/records/archive
Create symlink of folder with archive in web server directory
ln -s /media/raid0/records/archive/ /var/www/
While editing TV channel in Admin interface you can choose “Enable TV archive” option.
Ensure that the Apache configuration file have directive “TimeOut 1800”
For Subtitles as they are not supported with secure link in nginx
mkdir -p -m 0777 /media/raid0/subtitles
ln -s /media/raid0/subtitles /var/www/subs
And Put the link without directory for example:
ffmpeg http://192.168.0.1/TheNun2018.srt</virtualhost></virtualhost></stb’s></storage></storage>
