1.1 Rapid Deployment KiloLink Server Pro

If you have purchased and configured a cloud server with 4 cores, 8GB RAM, and 64GB

storage space, running a 64-bit Linux operating system (such as Ubuntu 18.04+ or Debian

9+), and Docker is installed and running correctly, along with the curl tool installed in the

system, you can connect to the server with sudo privileges and execute the following

command to deploy KiloLink Server Pro:

/bin/bash <( curl -fsSL https://github.com/kiloview/klnk-server/raw/main/install.sh )

The command will download and execute the installation script stored in the cloud.

Follow the prompts to complete the deployment process. Once done, KiloLink Server Pro

will run successfully on your cloud server.

If you encounter any issues, please refer to this document or send an email to Kiloview

technical support at [email protected]. Our engineers will assist you in resolving any

problems you may have.

1.2 Server Environment Preparation

The server you are using needs to have internet access. We recommend using a cloud

server purchased from cloud service providers such as Amazon Web Services, Microsoft

Azure, Google Cloud Platform, Alibaba Cloud, IBM Cloud, Oracle Cloud, Tencent Cloud,

Huawei Cloud, Salesforce, or DigitalOcean.

The recommended cloud server configuration is as follows:

Configuration Item Description

Processor 4-core CPU or higher

Memory 8GB RAM or higher

Storage Capacity 64GB HDD or higher

Choose your desired cloud server operating system, recommended

The cloud service provider will assign a public IP address; you can
Public IP
adjust public bandwidth as needed;

Planned based on network conditions. For example, if your aggregate

device has a working bandwidth of 6Mbps/unit, and centralized

Public Bandwidth management platform consumes 125kbps/line, if you purchase one

Calculation aggregate device and four devices requiring centralized

management, bandwidth calculation formula would be

1*6+0.125*4=7Mbps, minimum recommended configuration 8Mbps.

1.3 Accessing Linux servers

To remotely connect to a Linux server, there are several common methods：

1、Using SSH

Connect to the remote server by running SSH commands。

2、Using the Cloud Service Provider's Management Console

Most cloud service providers (such as AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, Alibaba Cloud, etc.)

offer web-based management consoles. You can access and manage servers directly

through a web browser.

3、Using Third-Party Tools

You can also utilize third-party tools to manage cloud servers, such as:

 PuTTY（Windows）：Used for SSH connections.

 MobaXterm（Windows）：A versatile terminal that supports SSH, SFTP, and other

connections.

1.4 Docker Environment

 To update the package manager's index, fetching the latest package information from

the configured software source lists. Enter the command: sudo apt update

 To install the Docker, enter the command: sudo apt install docker.io -y

 After installation, start the Docker service and enable auto-start on boot:

 Enter the command to start: sudo systemctl start docker

 Enter the command to enable: sudo systemctl enable docker

1.5 Deployment Process

The one-click deployment command for the KiloLink Server Pro server retrieves and

runs an installation script from the cloud to deploy the KiloLink Server Pro platform on your

server. You can execute the following command to deploy the KiloLink Server Pro platform:

(Note: A stable internet connection is required to ensure smooth deployment.)

/bin/bash <( curl -fsSL https://github.com/kiloview/klnk-server/raw/main/install.sh )

Since the installation process requires sudo privileges, please follow these steps to

check if the current user has Docker execution permissions:

Enter the command: docker ps

Check the result: If this command executes successfully and displays a list of running

Docker containers, it means the current user already has Docker execution permissions and

you can proceed to the next step. If you encounter a permission error (e.g., "permission

denied"), you need to add the current user to the docker group by entering the command:

sudo usermod -aG docker yourusername

Re-login: To apply the group changes, please log out and log back in, or use the

following command to reload the group settings:

newgrp docker

If your system does not have the curl tool installed, you need to enter the command:

6
 AV over IP Trailblazer

Ubuntu/Debian: sudo apt-get install curl

CentOS/Fedora: sudo snap install curl

After installing the curl tool, execute the KiloLink Server Pro deployment command

again.

After entering the deployment command, we officially begin the deployment process of

the KiloLink Server Pro platform.

Firstly, you need to read and understand the license agreement for Kiloview® KiloLink

Server (KLS). Compliance with the software license agreement is not only a legal

requirement but also a respect for the developers' efforts. If you have any questions about

the terms of the license agreement, we recommend contacting us for consultation.

You can enter [y/Y] to indicate agreement and proceed with the installation, or enter

[n/N] to indicate disagreement and terminate the deployment.

Step 1: Image Download

After you have read and agreed to the license agreement for Kiloview® KiloLink Server

(KLS), the KiloLink Server Pro image will automatically be loaded from the Docker image

repository, as shown below:

Step 2: Installation Path Selection

If you are a new user of KiloLink Server Pro, enter the installation path you prefer. If you

do not specify an installation path, KiloLink Server Pro will be installed in the subdirectory

'kilolink-server' under the default user directory.

If you have previously used an older version of the KiloLink Server container, you need

to first check the storage path of the data from the old version.

8
 AV over IP Trailblazer

Enter the command: docker inspect "container_name"

This command will allow you to view the historical storage directory. If you are unsure

about the name of the old version KiloLink Server container, you can check it using docker

ps.

Example:

Enter the command: docker inspect kilolinkserver to view the storage directory of the

old version KiloLink Server container, which is /data. This corresponds to the mounted

directory on the server as /home/ubuntu/update_test

9
 AV over IP Trailblazer

You can specify the mounted directory /home/ubuntu/update_test as the installation path.

We will endeavor to preserve your historical device information, user information, etc.

Additionally, we recommend that you back up historical platform data before installing by

following these steps.

Example:

To back up historical data under the mounted directory /home/ubuntu/update_test

use the command:

cp /home/ubuntu/update_test /home/ubuntu/update_test_back -rf

Step 3: Removing the Old KiloLink Server Container

10
 AV over IP Trailblazer

If an old version of KiloLink Server is detected, it will be indicated in parentheses as

shown below. According to the prompts, proceed to delete the previously installed old

version of KiloLink Server container. Considering that a server supports only one instance of

KiloLink Server container, we recommend removing the old version of the KiloLink Server

container.

Step 4: Port Configuration

Configure Web Port: The Web port is used to access the management console via HTTP,

with the default port being 80. Due to varying national regulations regarding network ports,

you may need to manually change the Web port.

Configure Connection Port: The connection port is used for device management and

aggregation services. The connection port must be an even number, and the system will

occupy both [link_port] and [link_port+1] ports simultaneously. For example, if the

connection port is set to 50000, the system will use ports 50000 and 50001.

Public IP: Since the platform cannot directly obtain your external public IP address for

access, you need to manually specify the public IP address. You can obtain the assigned

public IP address from your cloud service provider's management panel.

Step 5: NDI Discovery Service Usage Notice

The system automatically checks if the Linux system service named "avahi-daemon" is

installed on the server. This service is used for NDI's automatic discovery service. If you

require NDI|HX output functionality while using KiloLink Server Pro, you will need to

manually install the "avahi-daemon" system service by using the following commands,

accordingly to your Linux distribution:

Ubuntu/Debian: sudo apt install avahi-deamon

CentOS/Fedora: sudo yum avahi-deamon

Step 6: Confirmation of Information

At this point, you have successfully installed the KiloLink Server Pro. Below are some

12

important access details and configuration recommendations provided for you:

1)Access Points Includes:

 Web management interface for managing and configuring the KiloLink Server Pro

 Connection port for binding and managing devices

 Docker container name

2）Notes and Firewall Configuration

Please note that not installing the Avahi Daemon service will disable NDI discovery

functionality. If NDI discovery functionality is required, you may need to install and

configure the Avahi Daemon service.

Firewall Configuration: Ensure the following ports are configured in your firewall to

allow external access:

UDP ports: 50000, 50001, 5353 (if NDI|HX functionality is enabled)

TCP ports: 83, 5961-5962 (maintain at least 4*N ports open if NDI|HX functionality is

enabled)

srt, rtsp, webrtc port range: [30000, 30300]
