Relayed Services

Overview​

You can also opt to use your own servers/devices for hosting with the Service Queue project. Traffic can be relayed through a provided Wireguard VPN to direct subdomain or port traffic to your server

Game servers can be served via the relay by forwarding the required TCP/UDP ports

Project Requirements​

The following requirements are needed for relayed projects

  • A PC, laptop, or similar device
    • The device must be compatible with Wireguard VPN
    • The device must run 24/7 (or at least run continuously when required for your services to be usable)
    • The device must be able to run your services. You will need to ensure system requirements are met (CPU, RAM, and storage).
  • A stable internet connection (a poor network connection will result in your subdomains being intermittently unavailable)

You may choose to run your services on bare metal through XAMPP or similar tools when relayed. Docker containerization is not required.

Alternatives​

Cloudflare offers a similar service called Cloudflare Tunnels though this requires you to have a domain that you have purchased. There is however offer a free offering to try at try.cloudflare.com. This URL however is ephemeral (not permanent and may change) and is limited to one domain. This may require more work on your end especially for Frontend/Backend API setups as endpoints may change.
