OpenVidu Single Node PRO administration: Oracle Cloud Infrastructure#

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure OpenVidu Single Node PRO deployments are internally identical to On Premises Single Node PRO deployments, so you can follow the same instructions from On Premises Single Node PRO documentation for administration and configuration. The only difference is the underlying cloud infrastructure.

However, there are certain things worth mentioning:

Start and stop OpenVidu through the OCI Console#

You can start and stop all services as explained in the On Premises Single Node PRO section. But you can also start and stop the Compute instance directly from the OCI Console. This will stop all services running in the instance and reduce Oracle Cloud Infrastructure costs.

  1. Go to OCI Compute Instances .
  2. There, you will find the Compute instance that runs OpenVidu.
  3. Click the three-dots action menu next to the instance and select "Stop" to stop the instance (and therefore OpenVidu).

Stop OCI instance

  1. Go to OCI Compute Instances .
  2. There, you will find the Compute instance that runs OpenVidu.
  3. Click the three-dots action menu next to the instance and select "Start" to start the instance (and therefore OpenVidu).

Start OCI instance

Change the instance shape#

You can change the shape (instance type) of the OpenVidu Single Node PRO instance to adapt it to your needs. To do this, follow these steps:

  1. Go to OCI Compute Instances .
  2. There, you will find the Compute instance that runs OpenVidu.
  3. Stop the instance if it is not already stopped. Wait for it to reach the Stopped state.

  4. Click on the instance name to open its details, then click "Edit" next to the Shape field and select the new shape.

    Change OCI instance shape

  5. Confirm the new shape and start the instance again.

Administration and configuration#

Regarding the administration of your deployment, you can follow the instructions in section On Premises Single Node Administration.

Regarding the configuration of your deployment, you can follow the instructions in section Changing Configuration. Additionally, the How to Guides offer multiple resources to assist with specific configuration changes.

In addition to these, an Oracle Cloud Infrastructure deployment provides the capability to manage global configurations via the OCI Console using the Secrets via Secret Manager:

  1. Navigate to the OCI Secrets Manager in the OCI Console.
  2. Click on the desired secret you want to change.
  3. Scroll down to "Versions" and click on "Create secret version" to add a new version with the updated value.
    Create Secret Version
  4. Enter the new secret value and click on "Create secret version".
    Create Secret Version
  5. Go to the OCI Compute Instances and click on Stop → Start to apply the changes to the OpenVidu Single Node PRO deployment.

Changes will be applied automatically.

Backup and Restore#
