Authentication with Installation ID and Key?

[haneef95]

Hi,

I was reading the answer to

Q: What are my installation id and installation key used for?

in the FAQ

I was hoping to get some clarity on this point:
Authenticate to push relay servers for push notifications to Bitwarden client applications.

Kind regards,

The client apps use push notifications from Apple/Firebase(Google) and Signalr platforms to get updated vault information when you make edits. We use the install id/key to authenticate your self-hosted server against our cloud-hosted push notification services, so your self-hosted instance doesn't need to handle push notifications, which would require you to build and sign your own client applications in some cases.

Thanks for the elaboration.

Is it possible to self host the Push Relay as opposed to using push.bitwarden.com?

Kind regards
