Run it yourself. Keep every key.
Every component in vitonomi — the vault daemon, the hub server, and the SMTP relay — is an open-source AGPL-3.0 binary you can run on your own hardware.
Why self-host
Keep the keys. Keep the infrastructure. Keep the code.
-
No dependence on vitonomi
If vitonomi disappears, self-hosters lose nothing. The vault, hub, and relay binaries, the data format, and your keys all stay in your hands.
-
Your hardware, your rules
Run vaults on a Raspberry Pi, a NAS, or a VPS. Run the hub on the same box or a separate one. You choose the topology.
-
Bring your own relay
Host vitonomi-mx on your own domain for email aliases with zero vitonomi exposure. Or skip the relay entirely and use only credential storage.
Three steps
From clone to first vault in minutes.
-
Install the vault
Clone the repo, build with npm install, and start the vault daemon. It listens on libp2p and dials the hub for coordination.
-
Run a hub (or use ours)
Start the hub server alongside your vault for full independence, or point your vault at hub.vitonomi.com for a zero-config start. Same binary either way.
-
Create your cluster
Initialise a cluster, invite family members, and set per-user quotas. Each member generates their own encryption keys on their own device.
What you get
Exactly what hosted users get. Built from the same code.
- The same web UI, CLI, and vault daemon as hosted users — same repository, same release.
- No subscription, no margin, no vendor lock-in.
- A one-page audit trail: the data format is documented and versioned.
- A working recovery path from a BIP-39-style seed phrase.
- Cluster support — invite family members, each with their own keys.
