Self-hosting is great for hobbyist projects or if you want to go wild with a completely custom implementation (maybe you'd prefer the whole app was translated into pirate-speak). For most companies and teams, we recommend Qyra Cloud.

To self-host Qyra securely in production, you should have an excellent understanding of running services with Docker and kubernetes, as well as the security considerations.

If you're unsure whether to self-host or use Qyra Cloud, here are some things to consider:

When to use Qyra Cloud

Unless you have a specific need to self-host, we recommend using Qyra Cloud:

• Suitable for most teams
• Get started with Qyra quickly
• Secure and reliable out-of-the-box.
• No need to maintain your own infrastructure.
• Always have the latest version of Qyra.
• Incredible support from the core Qyra team and maintainers.

When to self-host

There are a few reasons why you might want to self-host Qyra:

• You're a large enterprise and want to run a proof-of-concept on your own infrastructure. This can be a great way to get your hands on Qyra, while your infosec team approves the use of Qyra Cloud. For enterprise features on self-hosted instances, see our enterprise features documentation.
• You're a hobbyist and want to run Qyra on your own infrastructure.
• You want to customise Qyra to your specific needs.
