How Cloud Connect works

One command replaces token management across your entire fleet.

01
relay login

Run relay login from any machine. It opens a browser to relay.com, you authenticate with GitHub or email, and the CLI receives a scoped token automatically.

relay login
# → opens relay.com/auth/login in browser
# → token saved to ~/.relay/config.json
# ✓ authenticated as [email protected]
02
No more tokens

Your relay account becomes your identity across every project and server. No more copying tokens from data/token.txt, no more --token flags, no per-machine config.

# Before Cloud Connect
relay deploy --url http://host:8080 --token abc123

# After Cloud Connect
relay deploy
# ✓ uses your relay.com identity
03
Admin panel sign-in

The local admin dashboard at :8080 can optionally show a 'Sign in with Relay' button. Connect your relay.com account and skip the token screen entirely.

# relayd config
RELAY_CLOUD_ENABLED=true
RELAY_CLOUD_CLIENT_ID=your_client_id
# → admin panel shows relay.com sign-in

Sign in with Relay on your local dashboard

When Cloud Connect is configured on your server, the admin panel at :8080 gains a Sign in with Relay button alongside the existing token flow. Your relay.com account authenticates you locally — no token copy-paste required. Both auth methods remain available.

What you get

Account-based auth

Your relay.com account replaces the server token. Sign in once and every CLI command, from any machine, uses your identity.

Scoped access

Tokens issued by relay.com are scoped to your account and revokable from the dashboard. No more tokens living in shell history.

Admin panel integration

When Cloud Connect is configured, the local :8080 panel offers Sign in with Relay alongside the existing token flow. Both work.

Unified dashboard

See all your relay servers and apps in one place. Stream live logs, trigger deploys, and restart apps without SSH.

Offline-resilient agents

relayd keeps working if relay.com is unreachable. Events queue locally and replay when the connection restores. The agent never hard-depends on the cloud.

Always free

Cloud Connect is and will stay free. Self-hosting relay.com auth and dashboard adds no cost to your infrastructure.
