Private and LAN play
Local hosting
Run compatible infrastructure on your own machine or a private network.
Private by default
Local hosting is useful for testing, LAN play, and small groups. Keep the endpoint private unless you understand the network exposure and are ready to operate a public service.
Platform-specific setup steps will be added after the hosting package is tested.
Make it public later
Before opening access, read the security and operations guidance, test recovery, and make the player-facing rules clear.
