FUXA

FUXA is a web-based SCADA / HMI platform for industrial automation, IoT and real-time process visualization.

It allows you to build modern dashboards, connect industrial devices and monitor machines using standard industrial protocols such as Modbus, OPC-UA, MQTT and Siemens S7.

⭐ If you find FUXA useful, please consider giving the project a star.

✨ Features

• Industrial protocol support Modbus RTU/TCP, Siemens S7 Protocol, OPC-UA, BACnet IP, MQTT, Ethernet/IP (Allen Bradley), ODBC, ADSclient, Gpio (Raspberry), WebCam, MELSEC, Redis
• Database and data storage Built-in data historian (DAQ) with support for SQLite, InfluxDB and other time-series databases. External integrations via ODBC and Redis.
• SCADA/HMI Web-Editor Engineering and Design completely web-based
• Cross-platform architecture Backend: Node.js Frontend: Angular, HTML5, CSS, SVG

Why FUXA

🛠 Installing and Running

FUXA is developed with NodeJS (backend) and Angular (frontend).

For detailed guides and advanced configuration options, see the official documentation:

👉 https://frangoteam.github.io/FUXA/

1° Option - Running from docker

docker pull frangoteam/fuxa:latest
docker run -d -p 1881:1881 frangoteam/fuxa:latest

// persistent storage of application data (project), daq (tags history), logs and images (resource)
docker run -d -p 1881:1881 -v fuxa_appdata:/usr/src/app/FUXA/server/_appdata -v fuxa_db:/usr/src/app/FUXA/server/_db -v fuxa_logs:/usr/src/app/FUXA/server/_logs -v fuxa_images:/usr/src/app/FUXA/server/_images frangoteam/fuxa:latest

// with Docker compose
// persistent storage will be at ./appdata ./db ./logs and ./images
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/frangoteam/FUXA/master/compose.yml
docker compose up -d

Open up a browser (better Chrome) and navigate to http://localhost:1881

2° Option - Install from source

Download the latest release and unpack it

You need to have installed Node.js

• Recommended: Node.js 18 LTS

Note Starting from FUXA 1.2.7, Node.js 14 and older versions are not supported due to upstream dependency updates.

WARNING On Linux systems (especially Raspberry Pi), installing native dependencies with Node.js 18 may require additional build tools. If you do not intend to use specific features, you can safely remove them from server/package.json:

• Remove node-snap7 if you do not need Siemens S7 communication
• Remove odbc if you do not need external database connectivity

cd ./server
npm install
npm start

Open up a browser (better Chrome) and navigate to http://localhost:1881

3° Option - Install from NPM

You need to have installed Node.js

• Recommended: Node.js 18 LTS

WARNING In linux with nodejs Version 18 the installation could be a challenge. If you don't intend communicate with Siemens PLCs via S7 (node-snap7 library) you can install from NPM @frangoteam/fuxa-min

npm install -g --unsafe-perm @frangoteam/fuxa
fuxa

Open up a browser (better Chrome) and navigate to http://localhost:1881

4° Option - Install using prebuilt Electron Packages

You will need to be logged into github to access the download button for Electron Action Builds, click on the workflow and scroll down to Artifacts and click the download icon for you system

Electron Action Builds

5° Option - Headless Portable Binaries for Embedded Devices

For headless deployments on embedded devices or servers without GUI, FUXA provides self-contained portable binaries for Windows, macOS, and Linux.

These binaries include everything needed (server, client) and run as standalone executables.

Download the latest builds from GitHub Actions artifacts:

Headless Portable Builds

For detailed installation and running instructions, see the documentation.

Creating the Electron Application

Electron is a framework for building cross-platform desktop applications using web technologies. An Electron application is standalone, meaning it can be run independently on your desktop without needing a web browser.

To create the Electron application, you need to have node.js 18 installed. Follow these steps:

Build Server and Client First

cd ./server
npm install
cd ../client
npm install
npm run build

Packaging

cd ./app
npm install
npm run package

After following these steps, you will have a standalone Electron application for FUXA. The application can be found in the ./app directory.
