Self-hosting Guide #

This guide explains how to get your own Penpot instance, running on a machine you control, to test it, use it by you or your team, or even customize and extend it any way you like.

If you need more context you can look at the post about self-hosting in Penpot community.

The experience stays the same, whether you use Penpot in the cloud or self-hosted.

Docker images are published shortly after the SaaS update: Why do self hosted versions lag behind new releases?

These are the main options to configure your Penpot instance:

1. Deploy with docker compose
2. Use Kubernetes in its different flavors:
   • Deploy the official Helm Chart
   • Deploy in Openshift
   • Deploy in Rancher
3. Other official options:
   • Elestio
   • Truenas

Or you can try other options, offered by Penpot community.
