Questions about private instances - on the wrong track

WebPageTest Private Instances

Hello,

I would like to run a private instance at my own datacenter without relaying outside.

I would like use a browser from my desktop without agents that hits my own private instance by use of internal DNS and a hostfile entry.

My intended use is outside the norm and I’m having trouble with “Relay: Invalid API Key” because I don’t have an API key and I don’t want to relay.

Can someone provide a locations.ini that’s the most basic? or am I completely on the wrong track?

Best Regards,
Brendan

The first example in the locations doc is a config with no relay: https://sites.google.com/a/webpagetest.org/docs/private-instances/locations

Your intended use is actually the norm. Relays are not used very frequently at all.
