​
Deployment and Local Engine

Redbit can run as a hosted web application and can optionally pair with a local engine for desktop-side capabilities. The web app handles the UI, model configuration, and browser-side state. The local engine provides explicitly paired local capabilities such as selected media, automation, plugin, or MCP operations.

​
Hosted web app

Deploy the Vite build to your preferred static hosting platform. Production configuration should point browser traffic to trusted Supabase functions or your own compatible proxy endpoints. 
pnpm install
pnpm build

​
Local engine

The local engine listens on 127.0.0.1:19831 and requires pairing before protected operations are available. Users should only pair a local engine they launched themselves.

​
Security notes

  • Do not ship real API keys in frontend environment variables.
  • Use server-side functions or a trusted relay for shared production secrets.
  • Keep local-engine pairing enabled for filesystem, automation, plugin, and dependency-install operations.
  • Review provider terms and data handling requirements before routing sensitive content through third-party models.
