Port Utilization Requirements

The following ports must be open on the server for the program to function.

Type	Application	Description	Port
TCP	MongoDB	Database access port	27017
TCP	Postgres	Database access port	5432

The ports can be opened as follows:

SSH into the Media Server.
- Use command:
  CODE
```
ssh username@server-ip
```
- Enter the ssh password and press Enter.
Use command:
CODE
```
su
```
Enter the root user's password
Run the following command and replace PORT with each of the required ports listed above:
CODE
```
sudo iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport PORT-j ACCEPT
```

Example with port 8021:

CODE

sudo iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 8021 -j ACCEPT

Save this port configuration with command:
CODE
```
sudo iptables-save
```

Media Server PostgreSQL Configuration

SSH into the Media Server.
- Use command:
  CODE
```
ssh username@server-ip
```
- Enter the ssh password and press Enter.
Use command:
CODE
```
su
```
Enter the root user's password
Navigate to the Postgresql folder.
- CODE
```
cd /etc/postgresql/<version>/main/
```
- Where <version> is the version of Postgresql being used.
Open the file postgresql.conf.
- CODE
```
vi postgresql.conf
```
- Scroll down to find the line #listen_addresses='*' and remove the # symbol.
Save and exit by :
- Press the Esc key.
- Enter the phrase :wq to save and exit.
Open the file pg_hba.conf.
- CODE
```
vi pg_hba.conf
```
- Scroll down to the bottom and add the line:
  - host all all 0.0.0.0/0 md5
Save and exit by :
- Press the Esc key.
- Enter the phrase :wq to save and exit.
Restart the Postgresql service:
- CODE
```
systemctl restart postgresql
```

Create MongoDB database

SSH into the Media Server.
- Use command:
  CODE
```
ssh username@server-ip
```
- Enter the ssh password and press Enter.
Use command:
CODE
```

```
Enter the root user's password.
Run command:
CODE
```
systemctl enable mongod
```
Open the MongoDB config file:
CODE
```
vi /etc/mongod.conf
```
Locate the field bindIp and set its value to the IP address of the current server.
Note the value of the port field as well.
Run command:
CODE
```
systemctl restart mongod
```
Run command:
CODE
```
mongosh --host HOST --port PORT
```
1. Where HOST is the value of the bindIp field in Step 3.
2. PORT is the value of the port field in Step 4.
In the following text replace USER and PASS with your choice of username and password respectively, then copy and paste it in the Mongo CLI opened in the previous step, and press enter:
CODE
```
use recording-link-activities
db.createUser(
  {
    user: "USER",
    pwd: "PASS",
    roles: []
  }
)
```
Exit with the command:
CODE
```
exit
```
