Installation

BUG allows you to control equipment in a production or broadcast setting from a single interface - no more rearranging chrome tabs or keyboards or sharing maagement IP addresses!

You can run BUG on any compatible operating system and deploy a central interface with user management and audit trails that allow you to control a range of equipment.

A full list of supported modules is available on the Modules Page

Supported Operating Systems

Install Environments

AWS or Virtualised

Run BUG in EC2 or on a virtual machine for larger deployments or for higher levels of availability, in such a case it might be desirable to make BUG available publicly and couple it with SSO options such as OIDC or SAML.

Note - When making BUG available on the internet you should take the necessary precautions to protect your infrastructure. You should use SSL certificates and reduce risk by placing BUG behind a reverse proxy.

Using locally

Run BUG on any hardware that has support for docker. This is suggested for small deployments where only a couple of users are accessing BUG on a local network.

User Guide

Adding Panels

For each piece of equipment you want to control you’ll need to create a panel:

  1. Click panels on the left-hand toolbar
  2. Select Add Panel in the top right
  3. Give your panel a recognisable name and description and select the type of module.
  4. Click add and wait for your brand new panel to start. You’ll see it appear in the toolbar on the right.
