Vultr Broadcaster Details
Vultr Broadcaster has been setup for you to access in a variety of ways
Using OBS
OBS Studio Web
URL: http://use.your.ip
User: OBS User
Password: OBS Password
System Administration
Cockpit Control Panel
Cockpit control panel is accessible via https://use.your.ip:9080/:
* Credentials are the same as provided on the Server Information page
If you use the Vultr Firewall, make sure to allow access to port 9080.
Cockpit can be disabled by connecting as the root user and running:
# systemctl disable --now cockpit.socket
HTTPS: SSL/TLS Certificates
To access the service with a domain name, instead of use.your.ip, it is possible to register a domain name from a domain registrar, and either follow the registrar's documentation on updating DNS records, or utilize Vultr's DNS.
Once DNS has finished propagating, and the registered domain name resolves to use.your.ip, connect to the server via console or SSH as the root user.
Let's Encrypt via Certbot
Certbot is installed by default on this app. If you need to update or reinstall, please see the recommended installation steps at eff.org.
Requesting a Certificate
The below example shows installing multi-domain certificate for the bare or root domain of example.com as well as the fully-qualified domain name (FQDN) of www.example.com. The email provided is used for registering an account with Let's Encrypt and is not sent to Vultr:
# certbot --nginx --redirect -d www.example.com -d example.com -m admin@example.com --agree-tos --no-eff-email
Upon successfully requesting certificates, a message should be shown that includes text similar to the following:
Successfully deployed certificate for www.example.com to /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/XXX_https.conf
Congratulations! You have successfully enabled HTTPS on https://www.example.com
(Optional) To update the Cockpit Control Panel to use the same certificate, a script is available to be invoked via:
# /opt/vultr/cockpit-certificate.sh
Revoking a Certificate
In case a certificate issued by Let's Encrypt via certbot is to be revoked, or otherwise needs to be uninstalled, these steps should be followed:
1. Back up current web server configuration files:
# cp -r /etc/nginx /root/nginx
2. Revoke the certificate:
# certbot delete
3. Restore default web server configuration:
# /opt/vultr/fix-vhost.sh
Commercial SSL/TLS Certificate
If a commercial certificate is desired instead of the free Let's Encrypt certificate, install the public certificate as /etc/nginx/ssl/server.crt and the private key as /etc/nginx/ssl/server.key. Refer to the certificate vendor's documentation for any further details. Once these files are in place, reboot the server to ensure all services are using the correct certificate: # reboot
Disabling HTTPS
While strongly discouraged, it is possible to disable HTTPS access by running the following:
# rm /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/obs_https.conf /root/; reboot
