The web dashboard gives you a single view of every stream and its push targets. Open it in any browser and you can see at a glance which streams are live, what bitrate your encoder is delivering, and which destinations are configured — all without touching a terminal.

​
Accessing the dashboard

Navigate to http://your-server:6070 in a browser, replacing your-server with the IP address or hostname of the machine running Simple RTMP Restreamer.
If you deployed with basic authentication enabled, your browser will prompt for a username and password. Enter the values you set for BASIC_AUTH_USER and BASIC_AUTH_PASS in your docker-compose.yml.
If you are running the service on the same machine as your browser, use http://localhost:6070.

​
Dashboard layout

The dashboard has two areas:
  • Header — contains the Add New Stream button and the Refresh button. Use these to create streams and manually reload the list.
  • Streams list — one card per stream, displayed below the header. If you have no streams yet, the list is empty.
The page automatically refreshes every 5 seconds, so stream status and bitrate stay current without any action on your part. Click Refresh any time you want an immediate update.

​
Stream cards

Each stream in your list has its own card. Here is what every card displays:

Stream name

The name you gave the stream when you created it. This name is also the last segment of the RTMP ingest URL.

Status indicator

Shows LIVE when frames have been received within the last 3 seconds, and OFFLINE otherwise. The indicator updates on every auto-refresh cycle.

Bitrate

The current ingest bitrate in kilobits per second (kbps), as reported by the incoming RTMP connection.

Last frame time

The timestamp of the most recent frame received from your encoder. Useful for diagnosing dropped connections.

RTMP ingest URL

The full URL your broadcasting software should target: rtmp://your-server/live/stream-name. Point OBS or any other encoder here.

Push targets list

Every destination configured for this stream, showing the target name and its RTMP URL. Each target has a remove button next to it.

​
How live status works

A stream is marked LIVE when the service has received at least one video frame within the past 3 seconds. The moment your encoder disconnects or stops sending frames, the timer begins. After 3 seconds with no new frames, the status changes to OFFLINE. This means:
  • A stream can appear LIVE for up to 3 seconds after your encoder disconnects — this is normal.
  • A stream that is connected but not yet sending video will show OFFLINE until the first frame arrives.
  • Brief network hiccups of under 3 seconds do not change the displayed status.
If a stream shows OFFLINE but your encoder claims to be connected, check that your encoder is actually sending video and not just holding an idle RTMP connection.

​
Auto-refresh and manual refresh

The dashboard polls the server every 5 seconds and updates all stream cards in place. You do not need to reload the page. If you want to check the current state immediately — for example, right after starting your encoder — click Refresh in the header to trigger an instant update.
