Self Hosting ☁
There is no way to self-host the infrastructure of RemoteController because it has no backend. But instead you can self-host if you want the TURN & STUN servers and then add them to the config.
-
If you want to self-host a TURN/STUN server you can try Coturn. (This is only an example, you can choose other STUN/TURN implementations)
-
Also you can host the Web version (but it is only frontend) to make like a network of Remote Controller web clients
Build
Prerequisites
You must have Wails CLI, NodeJS, npm and Golang installed.
How to
First go to the frontend folder and run
$ pnpm install<br>
$ pnpm run build
Now run the following command on the root directory of the main project:
$ wails build
finally go to the build/bin folder and your executable will be there.

How it works 👷♂️
This desktop APP is based on the WebRTC 🎞 standard and it uses the power of Go to communicate 🗣 with the Gamepad emulation libraries. In Windows uses the ViGEm Bus Driver with the ViGEm Client DLL
For the low level actions uses Go. On the other hand the UI works with Web technologies (WASM, Sveltekit, Tailwind, DaisyUI & Typescript)
You can learn more about how it works under the hood all the project
