@t0m5k1 Thanks for the report. I might not be able to help with this in the coming days. I would recommend to check if ntopng has trouble with the redis database or otherwise bad permissions somewhere. Might be that fresh install misses something.

Fresh installation on ArchLinux

Since installation I am unable to login with admin, admin.

I have tried the following commands:

redis-cli del ntopng.user.admin.password

this just does nothing, I'm still unable to login and after 1 single failure I get total lockout for 5 minutes.

Trying to remove the lock out with:

for k in redis-cli keys ntopng.cache.failed_logins.*; do redis-cli del $k; done

this does nothing as well.

Raised an issue on the main github repo and was asked to run:

stop ntopng

redis-cli flushall

rm -rf /var/lib/ntopng/runtimeprefs.json

restart ntopng

Then check with admin/admin again

This also failed to let me log in and was then told to come here as arch/aur is unsupported.

I was looking to purchase a license for either pro or enterprise but I won't bother, So last attempt at fixing this lays here before I jump ship to a different solution.

Thanks in advance.

@ShayBox

I had a similar problem due to race condition while starting the redis server. I've created a "wait-for-redis" service and hooked it as a dependency for ntopng. The following gists illustrate the idea:

I was not sure whether to include this hack in the base ntopng package.
