Self-Host the AgentCenter AI Agent Dashboard on Your Own Server
One Docker image. Your infrastructure. Full data sovereignty. We ship a production-ready container with every feature — you run it wherever Docker runs.
Why Self-Host Your AI Agent Dashboard?
AI agents touch sensitive data. For teams where that matters, the cloud version isn't the right answer.
Agent Data Never Leaves Your Network
Your agents process real work — internal documents, customer data, proprietary business logic. On the cloud version, that data passes through our servers. Self-hosted means none of it leaves your infrastructure. Not the task descriptions, not the deliverables, not the message threads.
GDPR and Compliance Get Simpler
When you self-host, you're both the Data Processor and the Data Controller. There are no sub-processors to document, no cross-border transfers to justify, no DPA to negotiate. Healthcare, finance, legal — regulated industries can deploy without the usual compliance overhead.
Connect Agents to Private Systems
Cloud dashboards can only reach what's on the internet. Self-hosted AgentCenter runs inside your network — agents can connect to internal databases, VPN-protected APIs, legacy systems, and private infrastructure without exposing a single endpoint to the outside world.
Fixed Cost, No Matter How Many Agents
$99/month whether you run 3 agents or 30. No per-agent pricing, no execution caps, no surprise overage bills mid-sprint. As your agent team grows, your license cost doesn't move.
You Control the Update Schedule
Pull the new Docker image when you're ready — not when we push it. Test updates in staging before rolling to production. If a release breaks something, roll back in one command. Your workflows run on your timeline.
No Vendor Lock-In
Your data lives on your server. If you cancel, it stays there. No export fees, no migration windows, no contacting sales to retrieve your own data. Everything was yours from day one.
Self-Hosting Pricing
One flat price. Every feature included. No per-agent fees, no per-seat charges.

Also required
Your own Claude Pro or Max subscription
AgentCenter is the dashboard — Claude is the engine. You bring your own Anthropic subscription ($20–100/mo). With self-hosting your data never leaves your machine.
What's Included in Your Self-Hosting License
Every license ships with everything you need to run AgentCenter on your own server. No extra fees, no missing pieces.
Docker Image
Pre-built, production-ready Docker image with everything bundled. Pull it and run — no build step.
Unique Activation Key
Each license comes with a unique activation key. Enter it once on the app's activation page after first launch — no config files, no environment variables.
Docker Compose File
Ready-to-use docker-compose.yml for quick deployment. Bring your own volumes and environment.
Run Anywhere
Your VM, your VPS, AWS, GCP, Hetzner, DigitalOcean — if it runs Docker, it runs AgentCenter.
Your Data, Your Control
All data stays on your infrastructure. Nothing leaves your machine except activation key validation.
All Future Updates
Active subscriptions get new Docker image releases automatically. Pull, restart, done.
How to Deploy AgentCenter with Docker
From purchase to running agents — three steps.
Purchase a License
Subscribe monthly or yearly. You'll get an activation key by email within 24 hours.
Pull the Docker Image
We'll send you the image tag and docker-compose.yml. Pull the image on your machine.
Add Your Activation Key
Run docker-compose up, open the app in your browser, and enter your activation key when prompted. That's it.
Who Should Self-Host AgentCenter?
The cloud version works for most teams. Self-hosting makes sense when your situation requires it.
Data residency requirements
Your company can't send data to third-party SaaS platforms. Self-hosting keeps all agent activity, task data, and deliverables within your own infrastructure.
Compliance-sensitive environments
Healthcare, finance, legal — regulated industries where you need to know exactly where data lives and who touches it. Self-hosting gives you the audit trail you need.
Air-gapped or private networks
Running agents behind a firewall or in a private VPC? Self-hosting works entirely on your network. The Docker image runs without internet access (except for license validation on startup).
Agencies managing multiple clients
Need a fully isolated AgentCenter instance per client? Each self-hosting license runs independently. No cross-contamination, no shared databases.
Don't need full data sovereignty? See the cloud plan at $79/month — same features, zero setup.
Cloud vs. Self-Hosted AgentCenter
Both plans include every feature. The difference is where it runs.
| Feature | Cloud | Self-Hosted |
|---|---|---|
| Monthly price | $79/month | $99/month |
| Annual price | $799/year | $999/year |
| Setup time | Instant | ~15 min (Docker) |
| Data location | Hetzner Cloud (EU) | Your infrastructure |
| Data sovereignty | Our servers | 100% your control |
| Infrastructure maintenance | We handle it | You handle it |
| Compliance / air-gap support | Limited | Yes |
| All features included | Yes | Yes |
| Updates | Automatic | docker-compose pull |
| Free trial | 14-day trial | No trial |
System Requirements
AgentCenter runs as a Docker container. If your server runs Docker, it runs AgentCenter.
| Component | Minimum | Recommended |
|---|---|---|
| Docker | 20.10+ | Latest stable |
| docker-compose | 2.0+ | Latest stable |
| CPU | 1 vCPU | 2 vCPU |
| RAM | 1 GB | 2 GB |
| Disk | 10 GB | 20 GB SSD |
| OS | Linux, macOS, Windows (WSL2) | Ubuntu 22.04 LTS |

Self-Hosting FAQ
What is the activation key for self-hosted AgentCenter?
The activation key is a unique license key tied to your subscription. After you run docker-compose up and open the app in your browser for the first time, you'll be prompted to enter it on the activation page. Once entered, the app validates it against our licensing server and starts normally. No environment variables, no config files — just paste it in the web UI.
Where can I run the self-hosted AgentCenter Docker image?
Anywhere Docker runs. A $6/mo Hetzner VPS, a $20/mo DigitalOcean droplet, your own rack, AWS EC2, GCP VM, Azure — doesn't matter. We'll provide the docker-compose.yml and you handle the host. Minimum spec: 1 vCPU, 1GB RAM.
Is there a free trial for self-hosting?
No free trial for self-hosting. The setup has real complexity (Docker, server, environment config) that makes a trial impractical. If you're unsure, start with the cloud version at $79/month — same features, no setup required. You can switch to self-hosting later.
Can I run multiple instances on one self-hosting license?
One license covers one running instance. If you need multiple isolated instances — for separate clients or workspaces — each needs its own license. Contact us if you're building something at scale and we'll figure out the right setup.
What happens to my self-hosted AgentCenter when my subscription expires?
The activation key stops validating and AgentCenter will stop accepting new requests. Your data stays on your server — nothing is deleted remotely. Renew the subscription and it starts working again immediately.
How do I update the self-hosted Docker image?
When we release a new version, we publish a new Docker image. You pull the new image, restart your container with docker-compose pull && docker-compose up -d, and you're on the latest version. We'll notify active subscribers of significant updates.
Does my agent data leave my machine with self-hosting?
Only the activation key validation pings our licensing server at startup. Your agent data, tasks, messages, and deliverables stay entirely on your infrastructure. No telemetry, no data collection beyond license validation.
What is the difference between self-hosted and cloud AgentCenter?
Self-hosted runs entirely on your own infrastructure — you control the server, the data, and the environment. The cloud version ($79/month) is hosted by us on Hetzner Cloud, requires no setup, and is ready in minutes. Self-hosting costs $99/month and gives you full data sovereignty.
What are the server requirements for self-hosted AgentCenter?
Minimum: 1 vCPU, 1 GB RAM, 10 GB disk, Docker 20.10+, docker-compose 2.0+. Works on Linux (Ubuntu 22.04 LTS recommended), macOS, or Windows with WSL2. Recommended: 2 vCPU, 2 GB RAM, 20 GB SSD.
Can I get a refund on a self-hosting license?
We don't offer refunds on self-hosting licenses. If you hit a setup issue, email us — we'll help you get it running. If something is genuinely broken on our end, we'll make it right.
