Self-hosted Quick Start

Bika not only offers powerful features but also supports self-hosted deployment, providing users with greater flexibility and data security. Self-hosted deployment involves installing the software on your own servers rather than relying on cloud service providers.

Why self-hosted deployment?

Self-hosted deployment means installing the software on the user's own server instead of relying on a cloud service provider. This approach brings many benefits to users:

1. Data Sovereignty: Users have complete control over their data, which is stored on local servers, ensuring that it cannot be accessed or misused by third parties.
2. Security: Self-hosted deployment allows users to configure according to their own security policies, such as firewall settings and access controls, thus better protecting data security.
3. Compliance: For industries with strict data privacy requirements (such as healthcare and finance), self-hosted deployment can meet compliance needs, avoiding risks associated with storing data on third-party platforms.
4. Customization: Users can deeply customize the system based on their business needs without being constrained by cloud service provider limitations.

For example, it supports text generation capabilities from OpenAI or DeepSeek. Other AI features available in the SaaS edition are not included in the self-hosted edition.
