App level authorization protects your Flowise instance by username and password. This protects your apps from being accessible by anyone when deployed online.

How to Set Username & Password

Npm

1. Install Flowise

npm install -g flowise

2. Start Flowise with username & password

npx flowise start --FLOWISE_USERNAME=user --FLOWISE_PASSWORD=1234

3. Open http://localhost:3000

Docker

1. Navigate to docker folder

cd docker

2. Create .env file and specify the PORT, FLOWISE_USERNAME, and FLOWISE_PASSWORD

PORT=3000
FLOWISE_USERNAME=user
FLOWISE_PASSWORD=1234

3. Pass FLOWISE_USERNAME and FLOWISE_PASSWORD to the docker-compose.yml file:

environment:
    - PORT=${PORT}
    - FLOWISE_USERNAME=${FLOWISE_USERNAME}
    - FLOWISE_PASSWORD=${FLOWISE_PASSWORD}

4. docker compose up -d

5. Open http://localhost:3000

6. You can bring the containers down by docker compose stop

Git clone

To enable app level authentication, add FLOWISE_USERNAME and FLOWISE_PASSWORD to the .env file in packages/server:

FLOWISE_USERNAME=user
FLOWISE_PASSWORD=1234
