⚙️ Configuration Examples

🔹 Example 1: Auth Backend (Billing Integration)

This configuration sets up a premium channel that checks a viewer's subscription status against your billing system before playing.****

# Global settings
http 80;
rtmp 1935;
pulse_db /var/lib/flussonic;

# Stream with authentication
stream premium_channel {
  url [http://provider.com/live/premium.m3u8](http://provider.com/live/premium.m3u8);

  # Require authentication via external backend
  auth backend {
    url [http://billing.example.com/auth](http://billing.example.com/auth);
    timeout 5s;
    cache 30s;   # Cache successful auth for 30 seconds
  }

  # Optional: deny access if backend fails
  deny_backend_fail;
}

📝 Explanation

• auth backend: Flussonic queries your billing/CRM system to validate each viewer.
• timeout: Maximum wait time for backend response.
• cache: Reduces load by caching successful responses.
• deny_backend_fail: Ensures strict access control if the backend is unreachable.

🔹 Example 2: Simple Global Auth

Connect your entire server to a PHP/Python billing panel.

# Connect to your PHP/Python billing panel
auth_backend [http://127.0.0.1/billing_api/auth.php](http://127.0.0.1/billing_api/auth.php);

🔧 ISP Performance Tuning

For high-traffic servers (10Gbps+), apply these kernel optimizations to /etc/sysctl.conf to prevent packet loss and buffer overflows.

# Maximize Network Buffers
net.core.rmem_max = 16777216
net.core.wmem_max = 16777216
net.ipv4.tcp_rmem = 4096 87380 16777216
net.ipv4.tcp_wmem = 4096 65536 16777216

# Congestion Control
net.ipv4.tcp_congestion_control = htcp
net.core.netdev_max_backlog = 30000

# Connection Handling
net.ipv4.tcp_max_syn_backlog = 4096
net.ipv4.tcp_tw_reuse = 1

Note: Apply changes immediately by running:

sysctl -p
