Upload NDI Core image to the server

（1）Upload NDI Core image from personal computer to server.

Note：

NDI Core image need to be uploaded to Liunx system from NDI local personal computer, which is required to transfer files by a file transfer tool. Deployers can use xftp files transferring tool that comes with the Xhell or other file transfer tool, such as SecureCRT.

1> Click file transfer icon in the Xhell.

(2) Load NDI Core image in the server

1.primary
docker load -i kv_ndicore_primary_011801.tar

2.pro
docker load -i kv_ndicore_pro_011801.tar

Note:

If the location of the NDI image file is not in the current directory, you need to specify the folder where NDI image file is located.

For example: If the directory where NDI image file is located as /home/kiloview, then the NDI image file loading command is “docker load -i /home/kiloview/kv_ndicore_pro_011801.tar”

Run container

1.primary
docker run -d -v /root/cp_data3:/data/configs -v /etc/timezone:/etc/timezone -v /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime -v /var/run/avahi-daemon:/var/run/avahi-daemon -v /var/run/dbus:/var/run/dbus --restart=always --name kv_ndicore_primary_011801 --network host --privileged=true kiloview/kv_ndicore_primary_011801:latest

2.pro
docker run -d -v /root/cp_data3:/data/configs -v /etc/timezone:/etc/timezone -v /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime -v /var/run/avahi-daemon:/var/run/avahi-daemon -v /var/run/dbus:/var/run/dbus --restart=always --name kv_ndicore_pro_011801 --network host --privileged=true kiloview/kv_ndicore_pro_011801:latest

Note:

The last image name in the above command (like kv_ndicore_senior_011801 in in the below picture) must be the same as the name behind the loaded image at the top of the command line.

Login authentications

Enter “IP address of server:81”in the browser (Google is recommended), press enter to display the login interface of the NDI Core. The default user name and password are admin\.
