Configure LibreQoS
Page Purpose
Use this page for daily operations and WebUI-based configuration.
Use Quickstart for the install and day-1 deployment path. Use Advanced Configuration Reference for direct file editing and CLI-heavy workflows.
Initial Configuration In WebUI
Current installs use the main LibreQoS WebUI on port 9123 for onboarding.
After installing the package:
- Open
http://your_shaper_ip:9123 - Create the first admin user if LibreQoS redirects you to
first-run.html - Sign in
- Open
Complete Setup - Choose how LibreQoS will receive subscriber and topology data
For most operators, Complete Setup is where the important early decision happens:
- Built-in integration for UISP, Splynx, VISP, Netzur, Powercode, Sonar, or WispGate
- Custom importer if your own process writes
network.jsonandShapedDevices.csv - Manual files if you intentionally maintain those files yourself
If Scheduler Status still says Setup Required, LibreQoS is not ready to shape subscribers yet. Finish Complete Setup and confirm your chosen data source has published valid data before treating the system as production-ready.
Configuration Via Web Interface
Most day-to-day LibreQoS configuration happens in WebUI (http://your_shaper_ip:9123/config_general.html).
Current builds use a consistent configuration layout across the General, RTT, Queues, TreeGuard, Network Mode, Integration Defaults, Network Layout, Insight, provider integration, IP Ranges, Flow Tracking, and Shaped Devices pages. Integration Defaults also includes the shared Ethernet port headroom policy used by integrations that can detect negotiated subscriber-facing port speeds.
Where In WebUI
- General settings:
Configuration -> General - Integration settings:
Configuration -> Integrations - Network layout editor:
Configuration -> Network Layout - Shaped devices editor:
Configuration -> Shaped Devices - Runtime operational validation:
WebUI (Node Manager)pages such as dashboard, tree, flow, and scheduler
When an integration is managing your shaping data, the Network Layout and Shaped Devices editors remain visible but become read-only in WebUI.
Source Of Truth
Read this first before production changes:
Persistent shaping changes should be made in one place only.
If an integration owns your topology and subscriber data, keep permanent changes in that integration workflow.
If your own importer owns the files, keep permanent changes in that importer.
If you intentionally run manual files, keep permanent changes in network.json and ShapedDevices.csv.
Important Notes
Topology note:
network.jsonnode names must be globally unique across the whole tree. Duplicate node names fail validation and are not accepted by the WebUI save path orLibreQoS.py.- When a node exposes a stable
id, LibreQoS prefers that ID for saved site bandwidth overrides while keeping legacy name-only matching as a fallback.
Queue-mode note:
- Current builds use
queue_modewithshapeandobservevalues. Oldermonitor_onlywording is a compatibility alias rather than the primary operator-facing setting.
Cobrand logo note:
Configuration -> Generalincludes an optional cobrand image toggle and PNG upload.- LibreQoS saves the uploaded file as
cobrand.pngin the runtime static assets directory. - The top-level
display_cobrandsetting in/etc/lqos.confis optional. If it is omitted, LibreQoS treats it asfalse. - The sidebar renders the cobrand image at 48px tall to match the LibreQoS logo, with a maximum sidebar width of 176px.
QoO (Quality of Outcome) Profiles (qoo_profiles.json)
LibreQoS displays QoO as an estimate of internet quality based on latency and loss.
Where The File Lives
<lqos_directory>/qoo_profiles.json
Selecting A Profile
- WebUI:
Configuration -> General -> QoO Profile - Config file: set
qoo_profile_idin/etc/lqos.conf
Example:
# /etc/lqos.conf
qoo_profile_id = "web_browsing"
Applying Changes
- Changes to
qoo_profiles.jsonare picked up automatically. - If you change
/etc/lqos.conf, restartlqosd.
