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.
Managed hosting — not a different edition.
Danbyte Cloud changes who runs the software, not what the software is.
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 isn't
- Not a different edition of the software
- Not a shared, multi-user deployment
- No extra features — nothing withheld from self-hosting
- No lock-in — export and self-host anytime
The operations, so you don't have to.
You're paying for the operations, not the software — here's the part we take off your plate.
Updates & upgrades
We apply new releases and run migrations for you.
Automated backups
Your instance is backed up automatically.
Uptime & monitoring
Managed, monitored uptime — we watch the instance so you don't have to.
TLS & domain
TLS and your domain are provisioned for you.
Managed infra
PostgreSQL, Redis and the worker processes are fully managed.
Export anytime
Your data is exportable whenever you want it, in open formats.
The only differences.
Identical software. The rows below are the only differences between self-hosting and Danbyte Cloud — including your always-open exit ramp: export in CSV, XLSX or JSON and self-host anytime.
