The easiest way to self-host OTA updates
Over-the-air updates for React Native. Efficient setup and architecture, even for millions of users.
Installed in twenty minutes
One command starts the install wizard, which configures OAuth, CDN cache rules and TLS, then brings the stack up with Docker Compose.
cmpatch selfhost install
Complete update control and management
All the features of a modern hosted OTA service, without the five-figure price tag.
Protection against releasing incompatible binaries
Fingerprinting checks the native binary for the targeted binary, so an incompatible release is blocked.
Devices download a tiny diff, not the whole bundle
Binary diffs send only what changed, so updates don't rely on excellent mobile signal.
Roll out, monitor installs and promote releases
Full release metrics live in the dashboard, with rollout and rollback controls for each release.
Your server can handle any number of users
Devices send check and download requests to the CDN, so your server is never overwhelmed.
How Patch compares
Patch and other self-hosted OTA tools all ship JavaScript updates to installed apps. They differ in how much you assemble yourself and how updates reach devices.
| Other self-hosted OTA | Codemagic Patch | |
|---|---|---|
| Throughput | DIY autoscaling and cache strategy | Checks and downloads scale with CDN |
| Downtime | API outage blocks checks | Only if CDN fails |
| Fingerprinting | Some | |
| Bundle diffs | Some | |
| Install timing | sync() install modes | Immediate, restart, resume, suspend |
| Release metrics | Often limited | Dashboard and CLI |
| Dashboard | Varies by tool | Web dashboard with team access |
| User roles | Varies by tool | RBAC in dashboard |
| Support | GitHub issues only | Support licence available |
