First-install notes

  • Check Node.js before installing the CLI Ontime's CLI needs the Node.js (the program that runs it) version listed in the app's requirements, so check your version before running the npm global install. Using the wrong version can make the install fail or leave the ontime command unusable. source
  • Quick-test with npx first You can run the documented npx install @getontime/cli command to start a temporary session without a permanent install. This is useful for a first check, and it avoids wasting time if your setup is missing something. source
  • Use the right URL path when accessing it For a local run, the timer page is shown as http://localhost:4001/timer, but if you host Ontime under a subfolder you must include that deployment prefix. Assuming the wrong path can break links, timer controls, or cloud routing. source

Common questions

What should I check before globally installing the Ontime CLI with npm?

Check that your Node.js version matches the version listed in Ontime's requirements. Using the wrong version can make the install fail or leave the ontime command unusable.

How should I set the URL path when reverse proxying Ontime under a subfolder?

Use the deployment prefix in the path. If Ontime is hosted under a subfolder, omitting that prefix can break links, timer controls, or cloud routing.

What deployment method is suggested for self-hosting Ontime in a cloud container?

The Docker image is suggested for hosting on a cloud container service such as an Amazon EC2 container.

Is Ontime v2 free to use?

Yes, the v2 release is described as a free rundown and time manager.
