Paths and state

NordRelay stores runtime data outside the repository.

Default home

~/.nordrelay/

Common files

Path	Purpose
~/.nordrelay/nordrelay.env	Runtime configuration
~/.nordrelay/nordrelay.log	Connector log
~/.nordrelay/webui.log	WebUI process log when managed separately
~/.nordrelay/update.log	NordRelay update log
~/.nordrelay/agent-updates/	Agent update job logs
~/.nordrelay/artifacts/	Managed generated artifacts
~/.nordrelay/uploads/	Uploaded files and inbox data
~/.nordrelay/diagnostics/	Diagnostics bundle output
~/.nordrelay/peers/	Peer identity and trust state

Exact state filenames depend on the selected state backend.

Custom home

Most CLI commands accept:

nordrelay <command> --home /path/to/nordrelay-home

Use this for isolated test instances or service deployments.

Build output

From source, npm run build writes compiled runtime files to:

dist/

The WebUI static assets are built and minified as part of the same build.
