AgentRail is a local-first product. You can run the full lifecycle API on your own machine, a VPS, or any Linux server you control — without a hosted account. Self-hosting gives you full control over your data, credentials, and runtime environment.

​
What self-hosting includes

When you self-host AgentRail using the source-available runtime, you get:
  • The local API server (agentrail server start) that serves tasks, events, CI status, review feedback, and ship operations
  • The full task lifecycle API and SDKs
  • Local event streaming and webhook primitives
  • Adapter interfaces for GitHub, CircleCI, and Linear using your own credentials
  • CLI-managed setup for agents, routing rules, and provider state

​
What self-hosting does not include

Self-hosting is a single-instance runtime. It is not the same as the planned AgentRail Cloud team control plane. The following capabilities are Cloud-only and are not part of the self-hosted runtime:
  • Managed provider connectors — AgentRail Cloud operates credential storage, OAuth apps, webhook verification, retries, and backfills on your behalf. In self-hosted mode, you supply your own tokens and manage your own webhook exposure.
  • Durable shared run history — Cloud persists routing decisions, run history, event cursors, and audit logs across your team. Self-hosted setups store state locally on the machine running the server.
  • SSO, RBAC, and SCIM — Access control and identity federation are Cloud features.
  • Fleet routing and dashboards — Multi-agent assignment, capacity management, and operational dashboards are Cloud features.
  • Support and compliance — SLA coverage, SOC 2 evidence, incident response, and backup guarantees are Cloud features.
Deploying AgentRail on a VPS with Docker is self-hosting, not a Cloud-equivalent team control plane. See the AgentRail Cloud section below for details on what is and is not included.

​
Two setup paths

There are two ways to get AgentRail running on your own infrastructure:

​
AgentRail Cloud

AgentRail Cloud is the planned managed team and fleet operations layer. It is not yet generally available. When Cloud launches, it will add managed provider connectors, durable shared run history, SSO/RBAC, fleet routing, dashboards, support, and compliance features on top of the same lifecycle API you use today. Self-hosting the source-available runtime proves the full agent lifecycle and gives you sovereignty over your data. It is an intentional adoption path, not a limitation to work around.
