OpenVidu Single Node COMMUNITY administration: DigitalOcean#

DigitalOcean

DigitalOcean OpenVidu Single Node deployments are internally identical to On Premises Single Node deployments, so you can follow the same instructions from On Premises Single Node documentation for administration and configuration. The only difference is that the deployment is automated with terraform.

However, there are certain things worth mentioning:

Start and stop OpenVidu through DigitalOcean web#

You can start and stop all services as explained in the On Premises Single Node section. But you can also start and stop the Droplet directly from DigitalOcean web. This will stop all services running in the droplet and reduce DigitalOcean costs.

  1. Go to DigitalOcean Droplets .
  2. There, you will find the Droplet that runs OpenVidu. Its name should be something like <STACK_NAME>-vm-ce.
  3. In the section of the Droplet click on "Power" and then "Turn Off" to stop the Droplet (and therefore OpenVidu).

Stop droplet

  1. Go to DigitalOcean Droplets .
  2. There, you will find the Droplet that runs OpenVidu. Its name should be something like <STACK_NAME>-vm-ce.
  3. In the section of the Droplet click on "Power" and the "Turn On" to start the Droplet (and therefore OpenVidu).

Change the droplet size#

You can change the droplet size of the OpenVidu Single Node to adapt it to your needs. To do this, follow these steps:
