Rendezvous Server Setup

The rendezvous source code is 100% open-source and you can self-host it wherever you want.

Requirements

Rendezvous Server needs two main properties in order to function:

1. Public IP
2. The process can listen to any port
3. Traffic to all ports is allowed in both directions (ingress and egress)

Fly.io Deployment

Breakpoint provides a ready-to-deploy Fly.io configuration.

Create a Fly.io application.

$ flyctl apps create rendezvous

Allocate a public IPv4 address and assign it to the application. Note that this is a paid feature of Fly.io.

$ flyctl ips allocate-v4 -a rendezvous

Take note of the public IPv4 address created before and deploy the rendezvous service.

$ flyctl deploy -a rendezvous --env PROXY_PUBLIC={public_ip}

Done! Now your instance of Rendezvous Server is listening to {public_ip}:5000 endpoint.
