Hosting

Overview

A DWN (Decentralized Web Node) server stores and relays data for DID owners. While Enbox provides public DWN endpoints for development, production applications should host their own DWN infrastructure.

Quick start

npx @enbox/dwn-server

This starts a DWN server on http://localhost:3000 with an in-memory store. For production, configure a persistent database backend.

Configuration

The DWN server supports multiple storage backends:

• SQLite — Good for development and single-node deployments
• PostgreSQL — Recommended for production
• MySQL — Alternative production option

See the HOSTING.md guide in the Enbox repository for detailed configuration instructions.
