FluxFax uses SQLite for data storage. The database file location can be changed via
the FLUXFAX_DB_PATH environment variable or Database:Path in appsettings.json.
Important: This file should be backed up regularly. It contains all endpoint registrations,
download logs, enrollment keys, and user accounts.
SSL/HTTPS (Let's Encrypt)
Automatic HTTPS: Enable SSL to automatically obtain and renew certificates from Let's Encrypt.
Requirements:
Port 80 must be accessible from the internet (for ACME HTTP-01 challenge)
Port 443 must be accessible for HTTPS traffic
Your domain's DNS A record must point to this server's public IP
Service must run with admin/elevated privileges to bind to ports below 1024
Changes require a service restart to take effect.
Backwards Compatibility: When SSL is enabled, port 8080 remains active for:
Desktop endpoints that were enrolled before SSL was enabled
Local management access at http://localhost:8080
The domain name for your dashboard. Must be a valid DNS hostname (not an IP address).
Let's Encrypt will send certificate expiry warnings to this address.
Enable this when testing to avoid hitting Let's Encrypt rate limits. Staging certificates are not trusted by browsers.
Disable this for production use.
Certificates are stored in ProgramData so they persist across uninstalls. Back up this folder.
