Assoluto

Self-hosted

Your server. Your data. Your rules.

Full source code under AGPL-3.0. Host Assoluto on your own VPS — free, no limits, with Docker Compose.

Requirements

  • ✓ Linux server with Docker 24+ (2 vCPU, 2 GB RAM to start)
  • ✓ PostgreSQL 16 (runs inside the Compose stack)
  • ✓ S3-compatible storage (MinIO, Backblaze B2, Cloudflare R2, AWS S3)
  • ✓ SMTP relay for outgoing emails
  • ✓ Public hostname + TLS (Caddy or nginx recommended)

Local demo in 60 seconds

# clone, boot, done
git clone https://github.com/eLh0m3r0/assoluto.git
cd assoluto
cp .env.example .env
docker compose up --build

# in another terminal — seed demo data
docker compose exec web python -m scripts.seed_dev

# open http://4mex.localhost:8000 — the demo portal
# vlastnik@dilna.example.com / demo1234 (staff)
# jan@klient.example.com     / demo1234 (client contact)

Production deployment

The repo ships docker-compose.prod.yml, an overlay on top of the base docker-compose.yml. It puts Caddy in front with automatic HTTPS. The bundled Caddyfile obtains a wildcard certificate through the Porkbun DNS API — swap the DNS plugin for your provider, or use the nginx example in docker/nginx.conf.example. Put your settings (database passwords, SMTP, S3, domain) into an env file and run:

docker compose --env-file /etc/assoluto/env \
  -f docker-compose.yml -f docker-compose.prod.yml up -d

Single-tenant vs. multi-tenant

By default the self-hosted install runs as single-tenant — one supplier, many client contacts. For running multiple independent suppliers on the same instance, set FEATURE_PLATFORM=true — this enables the opt-in SaaS layer with cross-tenant identity, signup, and platform admin.

A word on AGPL-3.0

Assoluto is released under AGPL-3.0. Practically: you may run it free of charge, modify it, and host it — even commercially. If you offer a modified version as a service to third parties, you must publish your modifications under the same licence. For a closed-source deployment, contact us for a commercial licence.
