-The admin port binds to `127.0.0.1` — access it via SSH tunnel or add a proxied route. The self-service port can be exposed publicly: every endpoint is HMAC-authed against per-owner writeKeys, no admin secret involved.

+
+Both patterns work; the client (`get-based`) derives `https://<relay-hostname>/self/...` from the WebSocket URL by default. For self-hosters who want to skip the reverse proxy entirely (expose port 4003 directly to the internet), set `SELF_BIND=0.0.0.0` and have clients hard-code their own URL via the `labcharts-self-url` localStorage override.
+
+The admin port binds to `127.0.0.1` — access it via SSH tunnel or add a proxied route. The self-service port defaults to `127.0.0.1` too; both expect a reverse proxy in front. Every `/self/*` endpoint is HMAC-authed against per-owner writeKeys, so it's safe to expose publicly once the reverse proxy is wired.
