Configure Firewall

xplex listens on port 80 (HTTP) & port 1935 (RTMP). Please make sure the firewall on the host system allows traffic on these ports. Depending on the frontend that the system uses to manage firewall, follow the appropriate section below:

ufw

ufw is typically used as frontend for iptables on Debian-based distros.

# check firewall status
sudo ufw status
# allow HTTP traffic
sudo ufw allow http
# allow RTMP traffic
sudo ufw allow 1935

Please follow Ubuntu’s official documentation or, community guide for more advanced help with managing firewall rules.

firewalld

firewalld is typically used as frontend for iptables on Fedora-based distros.

# check firewall configuration
sudo firewall-cmd --list-all
# allow HTTP traffic
sudo firewall-cmd --add-service=http --permanent
# allow RTMP traffic
sudo firewall-cmd --add-port=1935/tcp --permanent
# reload firewall rules
sudo firewall-cmd --reload

You can follow Fedora’s official documentation for more advanced help with managing firewall rules.

iptables

If you’re on a system that uses some other frontend for iptables, then please consult its official documentation.

Or you can directly manage iptables rules to allow HTTP & RTMP traffic:

# allow HTTP traffic
sudo iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT
# allow RTMP traffic
sudo iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 1935 -j ACCEPT
# save updated rules
sudo iptables-save
