The gateway to the Flux Network

Flux is the frontend UI to the entire Flux Network, it enables Flux operators to manage their Flux Node easily via a simple web interface. Flux enables an operator to perform all tasks such as updating and maintenance from a simple web interface, instead of having to remotely login to their Flux to manage it.

Flux Requires a reasonably new version of Node.js (npm), MongoDB and Docker. It is a MongoDB, Express.js, Vue.js, Node.js (MEVN) application

This application communicates locally with the Flux Daemon (fluxd), Benchmark Daemon (fluxbenchd) and other Flux instances.

Support for Ubuntu 18.04, 20.04, 22.04

Support NodeJS 16, 18, 20

Support for MongoDB 4.2, 4.4, 5.0, 6.0
