What is Flussonic Admin UI?

Before diving into credentials, let's establish context. The Flussonic Admin UI is a modern, web-based dashboard that runs on port 8080 (by default). It allows administrators to:

  • Create and manage live streaming endpoints (RTMP, HLS, DASH).
  • Configure video recording and timeshift (DVR).
  • Monitor server load, connected viewers, and bitrates.
  • Set up stream authentication, geo-blocking, and HTTPS.
  • Manage users, API tokens, and access controls.

Without access to this UI, you cannot effectively configure or maintain a Flussonic server.
