Overlayr on Self-Hosted VPS
Host it on your own $5 VPS — your data, your domain, your rules, with no per-seat pricing ever.
Setup on Self-Hosted VPS
Download the installer
Download the latest Overlayr installer from the GitHub Releases page (https://github.com/bensblueprints/overlayr-mvp/releases) — or build it yourself from the MIT source.
Install
Run the installer — one click, no terminal, no account to create.
Run it locally
Overlayr runs 100% on your machine — no account, no telemetry, and it keeps working with the Wi-Fi off.
What works offline: everything. Overlayr is a desktop app — once it's installed, no feature needs a connection to us.
Overlayr on Self-Hosted VPS — honest answers
Is it really free on GitHub?
Yes — the full source is MIT at github.com/bensblueprints/overlayr-mvp. The $69 buys the packaged installer, guided VPS deploy and lifetime updates instead of running npm and docker yourself.
Does it do follower/sub alerts from Twitch automatically?
Not natively — alerts fire from the dashboard or a webhook (POST /hook/:token). If you already run Streamer.bot or any EventSub relay, point it at the webhook and platform events flow through. If you want zero-setup native platform alerts, StreamElements still does that out of the box.
