Self-Hosting
Tunnet is designed to be fully self-hosted. Unlike competitors where the control plane is proprietary, Tunnet gives you the entire stack.
Components to deploy
PostgreSQL - the shared database for all state.
tunnet-control (Rust) - the control plane that agents connect to on port 8080. Also runs an internal admin API on port 9091.
Management API (Bun/Elysia) - the HTTP API and auth server on port 3000.
Dashboard (Tanstack Start) - the web UI on port 5173 (or built and served statically in production).
tunnet-relay (Rust, optional) - the public tunnel edge server.
