Flussonic Media Server
Flussonic Media Server is a professional live and VOD streaming server, available in the NetActuate Marketplace as a bring-your-own-license (BYOL) appliance. It ingests and delivers RTMP, RTSP, SRT, HLS, MPEG-DASH, and WebRTC, with DVR, catch-up, transcoding, adaptive bitrate packaging, and a full admin UI and HTTP API. Deployed from the Marketplace it runs the official Flussonic container on a dedicated VM in any NetActuate PoP, close to your contributors and your audience. It is grouped under the Media & Streaming category.
What It Does
Flussonic handles live and on-demand streaming end to end. Common uses include:
- Live ingest and delivery over RTMP, RTSP, SRT, HLS, MPEG-DASH, and WebRTC
- DVR and catch-up recording
- Transcoding and adaptive bitrate packaging
- Automation through the admin UI and HTTP API
Deploying Flussonic near your contributors and audience shortens the media path.

This appliance benefits from a NETINT VPU where one is available, and runs without one.
Configuration Fields
When you deploy, you provide these fields. They are written into the appliance at first boot. Secret fields are stored write-only in your account.
| Field | Required | Default | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Flussonic license key (BYOL) | Yes | none | Your Flussonic Media Server license key. Delivered through the platform secret pipeline, passed to the container at first boot, never echoed back |
| Admin UI / HTTP port | No | 8080 | Host port for the Flussonic admin UI, HTTP API, and HLS |
| RTMP ingest port | No | 1935 | Host port for RTMP ingest and play |
Using the Appliance
After the build completes:
- Open the admin UI and HTTP API at
http://YOUR_VM_IP:8080/. - Publish and play RTMP at
rtmp://YOUR_VM_IP:1935/. - Your BYOL license key was applied to the container at first boot from the license you supplied and never appears in any API response. Flussonic serves licensed streaming only once a valid key is supplied; if streaming is limited, check the license key you provided.
FAQ
Do I need my own license? Yes. Flussonic is BYOL. Supply your license at deploy; NetActuate bills only the infrastructure and bandwidth.
Where is the admin UI?
On port 8080 by default, which also serves the HTTP API and HLS.
Which protocols are supported? Ingest and delivery over RTMP, RTSP, SRT, HLS, MPEG-DASH, and WebRTC.
