Self-Hosted Web

Self-Hosted Web is a browser workspace and snapshot target maintained by the user. It is separate from the official hosted PromptHub Cloud service.

Node / Docker Edition

This edition fits a NAS, VPS, home server, or private network.

Its current scope includes:

• Browser access to prompts, folders, skills, rules, supported MCP metadata, and media.
• First-run administrator setup and simple sessions.
• Import and export workflows.
• A Self-Hosted PromptHub snapshot target for the desktop app.
• Persistent data/, config/, logs/, and backups/ directories.

Desktop and Web compatibility checks still apply. A self-hosted browser cannot perform local filesystem operations on another user’s computer.

Cloudflare Workers Edition

The Workers edition is experimental:

• Workers run the API.
• D1 stores accounts, device heartbeats, and synchronization metadata.
• R2 stores image and video media.
• The desktop self-hosted protocol remains the integration boundary.

Browser and Workers environments cannot scan local directories or install skills into local AI tools. The desktop app remains responsible for those operations.

Self-Hosted vs PromptHub Cloud

Capability	Self-Hosted Web	PromptHub Cloud
Operations	Maintained by the user	Maintained by PromptHub
Multi-tenant teams	Not a target	Available only where the current product exposes it
Billing and plans	Not included	Hosted commercial capability
Community operations	Not included	Official hosted capability
Desktop data path	Explicit snapshot and supported sync workflows	Depends on current client and service support

Deployment Advice

• Use HTTPS before exposing the service to the internet.
• Back up the complete persistent data boundary, not only one database file.
• Keep JWT secrets, database identifiers, and storage credentials outside the repository.
• Test restore compatibility before treating a snapshot as your only backup.
