Description

This module installs Nimble Streamer on CentOS and sets up the configuration file.

Further configuration is done by using the WMS Panel.

Setup

Add the module to node configuration:

  node server {
    class { '::nimblestreamer':
      port => 80,
    }
  }

Usage

Basic configuration just makes sure that Nimble is installed and running.

If you want to register the server with the WMS Panel you have to run the following command manually on the server:

sudo /usr/bin/nimble_regutil -u [email protected] -p mypassword

The configuration file /etc/nimble/nimble.conf is now updated with a panel_uuid and a panel_password. Copy these values back to your node configuration:

  node server {
    class { '::nimblestreamer':
      panel_uuid => 'xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx',
      panel_password => 'hash',
    }
  }

Reference

All mandatory configuration are supported by this module as defined on this page: http://blog.wmspanel.com/p/nimble-streamer-configuration.html

Limitations

Only CentOS 7 is tested currently.

Development

You are free to fork this repository and support to additional OS or configuration options.
