Five minutes to a working dashboard.
Cuitty self-hosts. Cleanly. The whole stack — Postgres, SpiceDB, the API, the
modules, the dashboard — comes up with one docker compose up.

Only :7700 needs to be reachable from clients.
DIY-friendly
libSQL files are SQLite. cui backup snapshots
everything to a tarball; pipe it into S3, Tigris, R2, or a USB stick.
Pull and restart
Migrations run on boot, are idempotent, and are documented per release. Roll back with the previous tag.
Offline tarball
We publish offline release tarballs containing every image and binary. No phone-home, no telemetry, no surprises.
Self-hosted is free and community-supported. Discord and GitHub Discussions are the right places to ask. If you'd rather we run it for you, Cuitty Cloud starts at $19/seat/mo.
