vuxuanhung

Hi all
I am newbie and have 2 questions
1. Changing a current Unity game project from Photon Cloud to Self-hosted Photon Server is so difficult or not?
2. Does self-hosted photon server limit 16 peers per room? How to make it unlimited?

hi, @vuxuanhung

1. It is not difficult at all. take a look here: https://doc.photonengine.com/en-us/pun/current/getting-started/initial-setup#configuration_for_self_hosted_photon
2. no, it limits up to 20 connections. You may download developer license to get up to 100. for basic development that is more then enough.
when you need to perform some testing please write us to developer@photonengine.com

best,

Hi @vuxuanhung,

Thank you for choosing Photon!

I wanted to add that you should be aware of the differences between Photon Cloud and self-hosted Photon Server.
Read here for the list of differences.
We also recommend v5 as it's the closest thing to what we have running on Photon Cloud.
