Community Edition

Self-host for free.

SlugBase Community Edition is the open-source edition of SlugBase. You run it on your own server, and your bookmarks stay there.

What Community Edition is

Community Edition is the same product as SlugBase Cloud, run by you instead of by us. It is not a cut-down version.

  • Open source under the AGPL-3.0
  • Every feature included, with full entitlements
  • No caps on bookmarks, members or workspaces

The AGPL-3.0 licence

Community Edition is released under the GNU Affero General Public License, version 3 (AGPL-3.0). You can read the source code, run it, change it and share it under the terms of that licence. The full licence text is in the source repository.

What you run

A self-hosted SlugBase is made of three parts on your own infrastructure.

  • The application, which serves the web app and the API
  • A worker, which runs background jobs
  • A PostgreSQL 18 database

Where to get it

The source code of Community Edition is public on GitHub, in the SlugBase repository of MDG Labs.

Installation instructions will be published here with the first release of Community Edition.
