Ministra with Mintrix
The Mintrix installer installs Ministra beside Mintrix on the same server, by default: the newest Ministra release on Mintrix's update channel, its own database (MySQL 5.7), memcached and its scheduled tasks. No Ministra licence or login of its own is needed.
Mintrix is connected to it from the start. Settings > Ministra already holds its address (http://ministra:88), a REST API login made for Mintrix, and the key Ministra sends its change notifications with.
Ministra has releases of its own: updating Mintrix keeps the Ministra you have, and Ministra is updated from Settings > Ministra > Update. See Update and settings.
Where boxes and admins reach it

|---|---|
| Set-top boxes on Ministra's portal | Mintrix's box portal: https://<your domain>/stalker_portal/c/. Mintrix passes their requests on to Ministra; video does not pass through Mintrix |
| Set-top boxes on Mintrix's MAG app | http://<your domain>/mag/index.html: see The MAG app |
| Ministra's own admin panel | Port 8088 of the server (MINISTRA_HTTP_PORT in .env). MINISTRA_HTTP_BIND=127.0.0.1 keeps it to the server itself |
The first start creates Ministra's database, which takes a few minutes.
