Ubuntu 20.04 x64

End of Life Statement for Ubuntu 20.04 Stream Host

Ubuntu 20.04 LTS will reach its end of standard support on 31 May 2025. After this date, security updates and maintenance for Ubuntu 20.04 will no longer be provided unless you have an extended support subscription. Running the XMPro Stream Host on an unsupported operating system may expose your environment to security vulnerabilities and compliance risks.

Recommended Action: XMPro strongly recommends using the Docker-based Stream Host as the preferred method for all new installations and upgrades. The Docker Stream Host offers improved portability, simplified updates, and is supported on a wide range of modern platforms, including newer Ubuntu LTS releases.

  This is the name that appears when you view the Stream Hosts online.

• “Enter Server Url to connect to”

  This is the server where Data Stream Designer is hosted, for example: “https://mysampleserver/datastreamdesigner/“. Please note that this URL needs to end in a forward slash.

• “Enter Collection Id”

  This is the ID of your Collection and can be copied from Data Stream Designer.

• “Enter collection secret Key”

  This is the secret key of your Collection and can be copied from Data Stream Designer.

• “Enter encryption key”

  This is the key that the Stream Host will use to encrypt or decrypt secure user settings, for example, a SQL Server password.

These settings can be found in Data Stream Designer:

Uninstall

To uninstall a Stream Host, use the following command:

sudo dpkg -r xmpro-stream-host

The Stream Host will then be removed. Some files, such as logs, may not be removed because they were created after the installation.
