Network and security

Once Ontime is running, it will make itself available in all network interfaces to which the machine has access.
You can find the list of IP addresses in Editor -> Settings -> Network.

Use the device’s web browser to navigate to the IP address of the computer running Ontime and point your automation to the same IP address.

Note

You will find a list of network interfaces at the top of the network settings page; clicking on one of the blue links will open a browser pointing to that address.
You can share any of these addresses with your team so that they can access Ontime views from any device in that network.

Caution

If you cannot reach Ontime from another device, please check your network configuration and firewall.
There are no settings in Ontime other than the server port (by default 4001).

If you are running behind a reverse proxy, please check the configuration and make sure to allow passthrought for WebSockets.

Security

Note that Ontime discourages you from exposing the application in a public network.

You can add a thin layer of protection over some views such as /editor, /cuesheet and /op using the Pin Code defined in the App Settings.

However, any device in your network can send commands to ontime, which can alter its runtime.
We recommend that the most significant security control should happen at the network access level.
