## Using Ontime
Ontime can be started by downloading the latest release for your platform. \
Alternatively you can also use the docker image, available at [Docker Hub](https://hub.docker.com/r/getontime/ontime)
### Getting started
Once installed and running, any device in the network has access to Ontime.
The easiest way to start with Ontime is by leveraging our [Cloud service](https://getontime.no). \
This will give you immediate access to running instances of Ontime which are available to share with anyone with an internet connection.
Ontime provides different screens which allow for different types of interactions with the data. These are called
views. \
Each view in Ontime focuses on empowering a specific role or achieving a particular task.
Alternatively, you can run Ontime locally for free by downloading the latest release for your platform or using the docker image, available at [Docker Hub](https://hub.docker.com/r/getontime/ontime)
You can access the different views by reaching the ontime server, in your browser, at (_default port
4001_) `http://localhost:4001` or `http://192.168.1.3:4001`
```
For the backstage views
-------------------------------------------------------------
IP.ADDRESS:4001/timer > Presenter / Stage timer view
IP.ADDRESS:4001/backstage > Stage Manager / Backstage view
IP.ADDRESS:4001/countdown > Countdown to anything
IP.ADDRESS:4001/studio > Studio Clock
IP.ADDRESS:4001/timeline > Timeline
```
```
For production views
-------------------------------------------------------------
IP.ADDRESS:4001/editor > the control interface, same as the app
IP.ADDRESS:4001/cuesheet > realtime cuesheets for collaboration
IP.ADDRESS:4001/op > automated views for operators
```
Once installed and running, any device that shares the same network as Ontime will have access to Ontime.
More information is available [in our docs](https://docs.getontime.no)
## Roadmap
### Continued development
## Continued development
Ontime is under active development. We continue adding and improving features in collaboration with users.

### Issues
## Issues
We use Github's issue tracking for bug reporting and feature requests. \
Found a bug? [Open an issue](https://github.com/cpvalente/ontime/issues/new).
#### Unsigned App
When installing the app you would see warning screens from the Operating System like:
in Windows
`Microsoft Defender SmartScreen prevented an unrecognised app from starting. Running this app might put your PC at risk.`
or in Linux
`Could Not Display "ontime-linux.AppImage`
We currently only sign MacOS releases. \
Purchasing the certificates for both Mac and Windows would mean a recurrent expense which we are not able to cover.
You can circumvent this by allowing the execution of the app manually.
- In Windows: click `more` -> `Run Anyway`
- In Linux: right-click the AppImage file: `Properties` -> `Permissions` -> `Allow Executing File as a Program`
If you have tips on how to improve this or would like to sponsor the code signing,
please [open an issue](https://github.com/cpvalente/ontime/issues/new)
