Local hub and cloud synchronisation

Venue Hub is an optional Raspberry Pi on your venue Wi-Fi that keeps floor operations running when the internet drops. Devices on the club network continue to use Hubumo locally, while Hubumo Cloud remains available for remote access. When the connection is up, two-way synchronisation runs about every 60 seconds — covering catalogue, members, staff, sales, tables, kitchen, events, tickets, guest passes, TV, subscriptions, and more. Turn Hub ON or OFF in Manager → Settings → Venue hub.

What Hubumo can do

Local continuity when the internet fails — with automatic sync back to Hubumo Cloud.

  • Optional Venue Hub on a Raspberry Pi for local operations during internet outages
  • Devices on venue Wi-Fi keep working through the local hub
  • Hubumo Cloud remains the public path for remote access
  • Two-way synchronisation with Hubumo Cloud about every 60 seconds
  • Keeps catalogue, members, staff, sales, tables, kitchen, events, tickets, guest passes, TV, and subscriptions aligned
  • Manager → Settings → Venue hub — Hub ON or Hub OFF
  • Turn Hub OFF anytime for cloud-only operation

How Venue Hub works

Why use Venue Hub?

Venue Hub provides local redundancy when the internet drops. Devices on the venue Wi-Fi resolve to the Pi and keep working. Hubumo Cloud remains the public path for remote access. Hub ON can be turned off for cloud-only operation.

Two-way synchronisation

When the connection is up, secure sync flushes the local outbox and pulls the cloud changelog. The first pull is a full snapshot; afterwards only the mirrored data domains stay aligned. SoftPOS and payment capture stay on the cloud side.

How Local Hub and cloud synchronisation works — step by step

  1. 1
    Set up the cloud service first

    Hubumo Cloud on your own domain with a matching sync secret.

  2. 2
    Install Venue Hub on the Raspberry Pi

    Run the install script with the venue host, cloud base URL, and sync secret.

  3. 3
    Configure local and public network routing (DNS)

    Point club Wi-Fi DHCP DNS to the Pi LAN IP; set the public A record to Hubumo Cloud.

  4. 4
    Enable Venue Hub

    With the Admin pack active, open Manager → Settings → Venue Hub → Hub ON.
