You can now create you own private relay server on ARM devices like Raspberry Pi.
A detailed step-by-step tutorial below:
1. First, we need to access the remote machine's Linux system using SSH client. To establish SSH connection, client will ask to provide host IP address and user credentials. There are various tools you can use at this point, e.g. WinSCP, FileZilla or build-in openssh. From now on all the subsequent steps will refer to the server operating system.
2. In order to download Remotly relay you can use WGET utility typing the following command:
wget https://downloads.mirillis.com/files/beta/remotly-relay-linux-arm.tar.gz
3. After that, unpack the remotly-relay-linux-arm.tar.gz file
tar -xf remotly-relay-linux-arm.tar.gz
4. Grant proper credentials:
sudo chmod 755 -R remotly
sudo chown root:root -R remotly
5. Move all files to destination location:
sudo mv remotly /srv
6. Open the configuration file and set desired port number substituting the sample one. If it is possible, we recommend to use the standard HTTPS port (443) to avoid future access problems.
nano /srv/remotly/config/remotly-relay.json
7. Execute the installation script:
sudo bash /srv/remotly/script/installremotlyrelay.sh
8. Start the service:
sudo bash /srv/remotly/script/startremotlyrelay.sh
9. Double check if Remotly Relay service is running:
systemctl list-units --type=service --state=running
You should see remotly-relay.service on the list
Please note that you can share your private relay server with friends or co-workers.

everything is ok. Now you must port forward port 443 to this local IP (192.168.1.215 in this case) in router settings to make it public and accessible from external networks.
