API documentation

The gateway to the Zel Network

ZelFlux is the frontend UI to the entire Zel Network, it enables ZelNode operators to manage their ZelNode easily via a simple web interface. ZelFlux enables a ZelNode operator to perform all tasks such as updating and maintenance from a simple web interface, instead of having to remotely login to their ZelNode to manage it.

ZelFlux Requires a reasonably new version of Node.js (npm), MongoDB and Docker. It is a MongoDB, Express.js, Vue.js, Node.js (MEVN) application

This application communicates locally with the ZelCash Daemon (zelcashd), ZelBench Daemon (benchmarkd) and with other ZelNode Daemons (zelflux).
