How to Set Up Federation Without a Server

Use StellarID.io to power federated Stellar addresses for your domain without having to set up a federation server or database.

Step 1

Visit the StellarID.io site and set up an account:

https://stellarid.io/

Step 1

Step 2

Add a domain by clicking the green "Add a new domain" button. Input a domain you own in the text box that appears and submit.

Step 2

Step 3

Add your first Stellar address for testing purposes. Click the blue "Edit" button and submit your desired username and the associated Stellar account id.

Step 3

Step 4

Add a stellar.toml file to your site at https://yourdomain.com/.well-known/stellar.toml that points to "https://stellarid.io/federation/".

It's important that you use your naked domain for the toml file URL - Stellar clients will not look for it under your www subdomain.

Step 4

Step 5

Modify your stellar.toml file/page to enable CORS - cross-origin resource sharing.

You can do this by adding "Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *" to the HTTP header.
