Self-Hosting Guide

This guide is for everyone who runs a Cryptomator Hub instance on their own infrastructure. It covers a local test instance, the way from there to production, and the maintenance tasks that follow.

If you want to see Hub in action first, start with the Quick Start. It gets a test instance running on your machine in about 10 minutes and then continues to production.

📄️Quick Start

Want to see Cryptomator Hub in action before rolling it out to your team? What you end up with is a playground, not a production system. It only listens on localhost, uses plain HTTP, and comes with default passwords. When you are ready for the real thing, continue with Going to Production below.

📄️Operations

All state of Cryptomator Hub lives in the PostgreSQL database: the hub database holds vaults, keys, and the audit log, the keycloak database holds users, groups, and credentials. Back up both, and always do so before upgrading. For an end-to-end walkthrough from deployment to backups, see Going to Production.
