Self-Hosting, Passcode Lock & Zero-Backend Privacy

BandRoom is engineered as a private, client-centric progressive web application. If your band prefers complete digital sovereignty, BandRoom can be self-hosted on your own local server, NAS, or intranet.

Zero-Backend Architecture

By default, the core BandRoom application requires zero server-side code:

+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
|  CLIENT DEVICE (Browser / Native PWA)                                             |
|  • Local Client Engine & Secure On-Device Storage                                 |
|  • All song metadata, setlists, cuts, and audio blobs remain on local hardware.   |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
       │                                                              │
       │ (Direct Audio Stream)                                        │ (Direct File Read)
       ▼                                                              ▼
+----------------------------------+          +-------------------------------------+
|  YOUR STORAGE (Google / Dropbox) |          |  LOCAL DISK / NETWORK NAS (SFTP)    |
+----------------------------------+          +-------------------------------------+

• No Remote Telemetry: BandRoom does not inject third-party advertising trackers, user analytics, or session recording scripts.
• No Third-Party Audio Ingestion: Your recordings are never uploaded to BandRoom servers for AI training, transcription, or processing.

Self-Hosting the Static Web Application

Deploy BandRoom on your own private web server (Nginx, Caddy, Apache, Docker, or Raspberry Pi):

1. Deploy the Static Bundle

Extract the production release archive to your web root:

mkdir -p /var/www/bandroom/dist
unzip bandroom-web.zip -d /var/www/bandroom/dist

2. Serve with Caddy or Nginx

Example Caddyfile for serving BandRoom over local HTTPS:

bandroom.local {
    root * /var/www/bandroom/dist
    file_server
    try_files {path} /index.html
}

Band Passcode Lock

When sharing a studio laptop or tablet mounted on a stage mic stand, you may want to prevent unauthorized users from viewing rehearsal notes or modifying setlists:

1. Passcode Setup: Configure a passcode directly in Settings > Band Passcode Lock or configure it during your deployment build.
2. Tactile Studio Lock Screen: When enabled, launching BandRoom presents a vintage cassette passcode console.
3. Session Memory: Unlocking grants access for the active session without exposing your storage provider credentials.
