OpenCodeHub allows you to host your own GitHub-like platform. You can run it via Docker (recommended for production) or Node.js (for development/custom setups).
| Component | Minimum | Recommended |
|---|---|---|
| CPU | 1 vCPU | 2 vCPU |
| RAM | 512MB | 2GB |
| Disk | 10GB | 50GB SSD |
| OS | Linux (Ubuntu/Debian) | Linux |
This is the most robust way to deploy OpenCodeHub.
Create a directory for your deployment:
mkdir opencodehub && cd opencodehub
mkdir -p data/postgres data/redis data/storageDownload the production compose file:
curl -o docker-compose.yml https://raw.githubusercontent.com/swadhinbiswas/OpencodeHub/main/docker-compose.yml
curl -o .env https://raw.githubusercontent.com/swadhinbiswas/OpencodeHub/main/.env.exampleEdit .env and set production values.

docker-compose exec app bun run scripts/seed-admin.tsIn production, you must use HTTPS. Here is a standard Nginx configuration.
server {
listen 80;
server_name git.yourcompany.com;
return 301 https://$host$request_uri;
}
server {
listen 443 ssl http2;

- Secrets Rotated: Default secrets replaced with strong random strings.
- HTTPS Enabled: SSL certificate configured via Nginx/Caddy.
- Rate Limiting:

Now that you have OpenCodeHub up and running, let's look around:
