ランタイムフラグでの設定
設定は一般的に、あなたのサーバーの/adminにあるOwncast管理サイトを通じて行われますが、Owncastの起動時にその動作を変更するために設定できるランタイムフラグがいくつかあります。
ほとんどの管理者は、これらを必要としません。 通常の設定には管理UIを使用してください。 ここにあるフラグは主にリカバリー用で、失くした管理者パスワードをリセットするためや、スクリプトや自動起動用です。
--helpを使用して、利用可能なランタイムフラグの完全なリストを表示できます。
Flag reference
| Flag | Value | Purpose | Persistence |
|---|---|---|---|
--adminpassword | password | Set a new admin password. The usual way to recover access if you lost yours. | Saved to the database |
--backupdir | directory path | Directory where database backups are written. | This run only |
--database | file path | Use a database file other than the default data/owncast.db. | This run only |
--enableDebugFeatures | none | Enable additional debugging options. | This run only |
--enableVerboseLogging | none | Enable additional logging. | This run only |
--followervalidationinterval | seconds | How often Fediverse followers are re-validated. | This run only |
--logdir | directory path | Directory where logs are written. | This run only |
--restoreDatabase | backup file path | Restore a database backup, then exit. Restart Owncast afterwards. | One-time action |
--rtmpport | port number | Set the listen port for the RTMP server. Default is 1935. | Saved to the database |
--streamkey | key | Set a temporary stream key. While it's in effect the Stream Keys admin tab is hidden. | This session only |
--webserverip | IP address | Force the web server to listen on a specific IP address. | Saved to the database |
--webserverport | port number | Force the web server to listen on a specific port. Default is 8080. | Saved to the database |
Flags marked "saved to the database" change your stored server configuration. The new value keeps applying on later starts even after you drop the flag. The others only affect the run they're passed to.
Examples
Reset a lost admin password:
owncast --adminpassword mynewpassword
Set a temporary stream key for this session:
owncast --streamkey mystreamkey
Run on custom ports. You can also change ports in the admin, which requires a restart to take effect:
owncast --webserverport 9090 --rtmpport 2945
Restore a database backup:
owncast --restoreDatabase /path/to/owncastdb.bak
