### Administration
Satyr needs access to port 1935 for RTMP streams, and will serve HTTP on port 8000. The ports can be changed with follow config lines.
```
[server.http]
port = 8000
[server.rtmp]
port = 1935
```
Changing the rtmp port is not recommended.
For HTTPS, run a reverse proxy in front of satyr. An example nginx block is shown below.

Users can be added from the command line even if registration is closed. Use the following syntax.

Chat is based on Socket.IO, and can be accessed through the webclient at /chat.
Chatting and changing a nickname do not require authentication, but the usernames of streamers are reserved.
The following commands are available:
`/nick kawen (password)` Password is only required if kawen is a registered user.
`/join kawen` Join the chatroom for kawen's stream and leave the previous room.
`/kick lain` Available only in your own room if you are a streamer. Forcefully disconnect the user.
`/ban lain (time)` Ban a user from your room. Bans are based on IP address. The optional time is in minutes. The default is 30.
`/nick sally (password)` Password is only required if sally is a registered user.
`/join sally` Join the chatroom for sally's stream and leave the previous room.
`/kick bob` Available only in your own room if you are a streamer. Forcefully disconnect the user.
`/ban bob (time)` Ban a user from your room. Bans are based on IP address. The optional time is in minutes. The default is 30.
`/banlist` List the IPs currently banned from your room.
`/unban (ip)` self explanatory
You can set up mirroring to and from webchat rooms and IRC channels, twitch streams, and discord server channels.
More information is in CONFIGURATION.md
#### Streaming
Users should stream to rtmp://example.tld/stream/examplestreamkey
The stream will be available at rtmp://example.tld/live/kawen and http://example.tld/live/kawen/index.m3u8 or .mpd if you've enabled DASH. (Enabling both HLS and DASH is not recommended for most use cases.)
The stream will be available at rtmp://example.tld/live/kawen and http://example.tld/live/kawen/index.mpd
Most software, such as OBS, will have a separate field for the URL and stream key, in which case the user can enter rtmp://example.tld/stream/ and the stream key in the appropriate field.
