Choose a server

OpenBeacon connects to our hosted server unless you choose another one. If you, your family or someone you trust runs their own OpenBeacon server, you can point the app at it instead.

Use your own server

  1. On the sign-in screen, tap Using a self-hosted server?
  2. Enter the server's address, for example https://beacon.example.com. It must start with https:// or http://.
  3. Tap Save.
  4. Close and reopen the app. The new server is used from the next start.

Go back to the hosted server

Open the same screen, tap Use Default Server, then close and reopen the app.

Your account lives on the server you created it on. Switching servers doesn't move your account, groups or history to the other server.
