Self-Host Checklist
Self-hosting is free and full-featured — if you cover the ops basics. This checklist is the basics.
The checklist
1. Storage: SQLite store on a persistent volume?
2. Health: is /health wired to your orchestrator?
3. Keys: admin token rotated, per-agent keys created?
4. Rules: caps, allowlist, velocity limits set?
5. Network: HTTPS in front, no public admin routes?
6. Backups: store backed up?
7. Upgrades: can you pull and rebuild the image?
8. Ownership: one person on call for it?
FAQ
