Your own private instance, run by us.
Danbyte Cloud is managed hosting of the exact same open-source Danbyte. We run a private instance for you: you get the software, we handle the updates, backups, uptime and TLS. Same features, no lock-in.
Coming soonManaged hosting,
not a different edition.
What it is
- A private instance, provisioned just for you
- The exact same open-source Danbyte
- Updates, backups, uptime and TLS handled for you
- Your data, exportable anytime
What it is not
- Not a different edition of the software
- Not a shared, multi-tenant deployment
- No extra features, nothing withheld from self-hosting
- No lock-in: export and self-host anytime
We run it. You use it.
You pay for operations, not software. This is what we take off your plate.
Updates and upgrades
We apply new releases and run migrations for you, on the cadence you see in the changelog.
Automated backups
Your instance is backed up automatically. Ask for a copy whenever you like.
Uptime and monitoring
We watch the instance so you do not have to. Danbyte's own checks run on top.
TLS and domain
TLS and your domain are provisioned for you, renewals included.
Managed infra
PostgreSQL, Redis and the worker processes are sized, patched and managed.
Export anytime
Your data is yours. CSV, XLSX or JSON, whenever you want it.
The only differences.
Identical software. The rows are the only things that change between self-hosting and Danbyte Cloud, including your always-open exit ramp.

| Updates & upgrades | You apply them | We apply them for you |
| Backups | You configure them | Automated by us |

Every feature listed anywhere on this site is in both columns. Danbyte Cloud is managed hosting of the same free software.
Danbyte Cloud is coming soon.
Until then, self-host in one line. When Cloud opens, move over with a plain export. Same Danbyte, either way.
