Using a self hosted server

Caution

If you are self hosting, we strongly suggest you stick to tagged releases, and do not follow main or latest

Follow the GitHub releases, and please read the notes for each release. Most of the time, upgrades can occur without any manual intervention.

We cannot guarantee that all updates will apply cleanly, and some may require some extra steps.

Client setup

In order use a self hosted server with Atuin, you’ll have to set up the sync_address in the config file at ~/.config/atuin/config.toml. See the config page for more details on how to set the sync_address.

Alternatively you can set the environment variable ATUIN_SYNC_ADDRESS to the correct host ie.: ATUIN_SYNC_ADDRESS=https://api.atuin.sh.
