Release archives include the binary, license, README, and a `VERSION` file. The server image for this release is also published to `ghcr.io/vaylix/vaylix`.

Use the tagged release archives if you want the fastest path to a working client binary. Use the published container image for the server unless you specifically need a local binary or source checkout. The latest release stays expanded by default; earlier releases remain available in the collapsed sections below it.

Use the Published Docker Image

For operational deployments, use the published image instead of building the Rust workspace:

docker pull ghcr.io/vaylix/vaylix:latest

Run it with a persistent volume:

docker run \
  -p 9173:9173 \
  -v vaylix-data:/var/lib/vaylix \
  -e VAYLIX_USER=vaylix \
  -e VAYLIX_PASSWORD=vaylix \
  -e VAYLIX_SNAPSHOT_INTERVAL_SECONDS=300 \
  ghcr.io/vaylix/vaylix:latest

The image defaults include:

VAYLIX_BIND=0.0.0.0
VAYLIX_PORT=9173
VAYLIX_MAX_CONNECTIONS=256
VAYLIX_WAL_SYNC=flush
VAYLIX_DATA_DIR=/var/lib/vaylix
VAYLIX_BACKUP_DIR=/var/lib/vaylix/backups
VAYLIX_USER=vaylix
VAYLIX_PASSWORD=vaylix

Important runtime variables:

Variable	Purpose
`VAYLIX_BIND`	Bind address
`VAYLIX_PORT`	Listener port
`VAYLIX_DATA_DIR`	Persistent storage root
`VAYLIX_BACKUP_DIR`	Server-local logical backup directory
`VAYLIX_USER` / `VAYLIX_PASSWORD`	Bootstrap admin credentials
`VAYLIX_SSL`	Enable TLS
`VAYLIX_TLS_CERT` / `VAYLIX_TLS_KEY`	TLS certificate and private key
`VAYLIX_TLS_CLIENT_CA`	Require client certificates signed by this CA
`VAYLIX_WAL_SYNC`	WAL durability mode
`VAYLIX_WAL_SEGMENT_SIZE_BYTES`	Segment rotation threshold
`VAYLIX_WAL_RETAIN_SEGMENTS`	Retained sealed WAL segment count
`VAYLIX_REPLICATION_ROLE`	`standalone`, `leader`, or `follower`
`VAYLIX_NODE_ID`	Stable node identity for HA metadata
`VAYLIX_REPLICATION_GROUP_ID`	Cluster or replication group identity
`VAYLIX_REPLICATION_ADVERTISE_ADDR`	Address this node advertises to peers
`VAYLIX_REPLICATION_UPSTREAM`	Initial upstream source for follower catch-up
`VAYLIX_REPLICATION_USER` / `VAYLIX_REPLICATION_PASSWORD`	Credentials used by replication peer traffic
`VAYLIX_WRITE_ACK_MODE`	`replica` / `majority` by default; `local` and `all` are explicit alternatives
`VAYLIX_CLUSTER_PEERS`	Comma-delimited peers in `node_id@host:port` form
`VAYLIX_SNAPSHOT_INTERVAL_SECONDS`	Background snapshot interval
`VAYLIX_EXPIRATION_SWEEP_INTERVAL_SECONDS`	Background expiration sweep interval
`VAYLIX_IDLE_TIMEOUT_SECONDS`	Idle client timeout
`VAYLIX_DISABLE_AUTH`	Disable auth for trusted local testing
`VAYLIX_DISABLE_COMPRESSION`	Disable outbound frame compression
`VAYLIX_MAX_REQUEST_PAYLOAD_BYTES`	Maximum post-framing request payload
`VAYLIX_MAX_KEY_BYTES`	Maximum key size
`VAYLIX_MAX_VALUE_BYTES`	Maximum value size in bytes
`VAYLIX_MAX_KEYS_PER_BATCH`	Maximum key count in multi-key commands
`VAYLIX_MAX_TRANSACTION_QUEUE_LEN`	Maximum queued `MULTI` commands
`VAYLIX_REQUESTS_PER_SECOND`	Sustained request rate
`VAYLIX_REQUEST_BURST`	Burst request budget
`VAYLIX_AUDIT_LOG_PATH`	Audit log override path
`VAYLIX_SLOW_COMMAND_THRESHOLD_MS`	Slow-command audit threshold
`VAYLIX_AUTH_FAILURE_WINDOW_SECONDS`	Auth failure tracking window
`VAYLIX_AUTH_FAILURE_LIMIT`	Max failures before lockout
`VAYLIX_AUTH_LOCKOUT_SECONDS`	Lockout duration
`VAYLIX_TRANSACTION_MAX_SECONDS`	Maximum transaction lifetime

As of 0.5.1+, persisted Docker volumes track the env-managed bootstrap admin correctly across restarts. If you change VAYLIX_USER or VAYLIX_PASSWORD for an existing data directory and restart the container, the startup admin rotates to the new env-managed identity without dropping custom users or RBAC roles.

Build from Source Only When Needed

If you need local development, unreleased behavior, or a custom binary build, use Build from Source. That page is intentionally separate from the runtime/operator path.
