# Chronexus Server wiki

Chronexus Server is the **optional, self-hosted** companion of the
[Chronexus](https://github.com/acelith/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](https://github.com/Acelith/Chronexus-Server/releases/tag/v0.2.0) adds Chronexus Table (maps, tokens, combat, fog, monsters, chat dice and pings).
> Container deployment builds locally; GHCR publication is pending. Read [Security](Security.md) before exposing it
> to anyone.
