Chronexus Server wiki

Chronexus Server is the optional, self-hosted companion of the Chronexus desktop app. You run it on a home server, a NAS or a small VPS with Docker Compose. It lets a player keep a campaign on several computers and share chosen items with the party. Chronexus works fully without it.

Status: release 0.2.0 adds Chronexus Table (maps, tokens, combat, fog, monsters, chat dice and pings). Container deployment builds locally; GHCR publication is pending. Read Security before exposing it to anyone.
