Setup Guide

Get OrOrbit up and running in minutes. Windows is supported today; macOS and Linux are coming soon.

Windows

1
Download the installer from the downloads page. Run the .exe installer.
2
Open OrOrbit Server. The setup wizard launches automatically and walks you through picking a connection method (Direct IP, Your Own Domain, or LAN Party), a privacy mode (Standalone or Pulsar Assisted), and a voice relay.
3
Set an admin password and finish. OrOrbit provisions a TLS certificate (Let's Encrypt via DNS-01 for Pulsar subdomains or TLS-ALPN-01 on port 443 for everything else, including IP-bound certs), starts the database, and brings the server online.
4
Open the OrOrbit client, create your identity file, point it at your server, and create an orbit. Click Invite to generate a link for your friends.
5
Share the invite link. Your friends download OrOrbit and paste the link to join.

Note: The installer automatically adds Windows Firewall rules for OrOrbit. If prompted by Windows Firewall, click Allow.

Want your server to start automatically when your computer boots?

Desktop app (Windows): OrOrbit Server registers a login-item entry when you enable auto-start in the admin panel. If you prefer, you can also add a shortcut to shell:startup manually.
