​
Self-Hosting the Relay Server

For those who want complete control over their data, you can run your own Xtro relay server.
Self-hosting is coming soon. This page will be updated with full instructions when available.

​
Why Self-Host?

The relay server is a “dumb pipe”—it routes encrypted messages between your devices without reading them. But if you want to be extra sure, you can run it yourself:
  • Complete control - Your data never touches our infrastructure
  • Custom deployment - Run on your own VPS, home server, or even a Raspberry Pi
  • Audit everything - The code is open source and straightforward

​
Requirements

  • Node.js 18+
  • A server with a public IP (or use a tunnel like Cloudflare)
  • SSL certificate (required for WebSocket Secure connections)

​
Quick Start

# Coming soon
npx xtro-relay

​
Docker

# Coming soon
docker run -p 8080:8080 xtro/relay

​
Configuration

Details coming soon.

​
Pointing Your Apps to Your Server

Once your relay is running, you can configure the Xtro apps to use your server instead of the default relay.xtro.dev. Instructions coming soon.
