Cause: Human error. Solution: You cannot recover the password via email. You must SSH into the Linux server as root or a sudo user and reset the Flussonic master password via the command line.
Use an Authorization header appropriate to your setup, for example:
Can you perform a Flussonic login from a smartphone? Yes. The Flussonic web interface is responsive HTML5. It works well on iOS and Android browsers. For third-party mobile management apps, you will generally use the Flussonic API.
If you need to access Flussonic from the internet (outside your LAN), never expose port 8080 directly. Instead, use a reverse proxy (Nginx or Apache) with strong authentication, or place Flussonic behind a VPN like WireGuard or OpenVPN. flussonic login
After your first successful Flussonic login, the system will check for a license. Without a valid license, your access will be severely limited (usually to a single test stream). You will need to paste a license key (purchased from Erlyvideo) into the interface to unlock full features.
If you lose the admin password:
This is where Flussonic differentiates itself. The login you use for the web UI is completely separate from the credentials required to publish a stream (RTMP push) or view a protected stream. Cause: Human error
Stream authentication is handled by the auth section within a stream definition:
stream camera_01
input fake://;
auth
user publisher
password = "pub123";
perm = publish;
user viewer
password = "view456";
perm = play;
This separation means an operator can log into the web UI to monitor servers, but cannot accidentally disrupt a live stream without separate publish credentials.
Q: I forgot my Flussonic login URL. How do I find it?
A: If you are on the same network, use a port scanner or check the router’s DHCP lease table for the server’s IP. The standard page is http://[ip]:8080. This separation means an operator can log into
Q: Can I use social login (Google, GitHub) for Flussonic? A: Not natively, but you can integrate OAuth2 via a reverse proxy (e.g., using OAuth2 Proxy) in front of the Flussonic web panel.
Q: Why does the login page look broken (no CSS)?
A: This usually happens if you are accessing Flussonic via a proxy that strips static assets. Ensure your reverse proxy passes all paths correctly (e.g., /static/).
Q: Does restarting Flussonic log me out? A: Yes. Restarting the service will invalidate active sessions. You will need to log in again.
