Self-hosted

Self-hosting your YOM node allows you to take full control of your setup, offering higher earning potential and flexibility in how you contribute to the decentralized cloud gaming network. Unlike delegation, self-hosting requires active management, but it enables you to optimize performance, scale your operations, and maximize rewards according to your hardware capabilities and availability.

This guide provides an overview of how to get started with self-hosting and what you need to consider to ensure a smooth and efficient operation.

Why Choose Self-Hosting?

Self-hosting is ideal for users who prefer a hands-on approach and have the technical capability to maintain and optimize their own nodes. This method allows for greater customization, direct control over uptime, and the potential for increased earnings based on operational efficiency.

Key Benefits of Self-Hosting:

• Higher Earning Potential:

  • Optimize your setup to maximize revenue and reduce costs (e.g., electricity and hardware efficiency).

• Headless & Full Control:

  • Directly manage node performance, resource allocation, and system configurations.

• Customizable Scaling:

  • Add more nodes to your existing rig based on your hardware capabilities and operational goals.

• Flexible Deployment:

  • Choose between plug-and-play devices for easy setup or code-based installation for advanced configurations.

• Cost Efficiency:

  • No ongoing service fees to third-party providers—potential for better ROI with strategic management.
