Deskly on Self-Hosted VPS
Host it on your own $5 VPS — your data, your domain, your rules, with no per-seat pricing ever.
Setup on Self-Hosted VPS
Get the code
Clone or download Deskly from the repository (https://github.com/bensblueprints/helpdesk-tickets-mvp) — the README documents the setup.
Deploy on your own server
Self-host on your own VPS or server — Docker or the one-command setup from the repo README. Point your domain at it when you're ready.
Keep your data yours
Your data stays on hardware you control — no third-party cloud, no per-seat pricing, no telemetry back to us.
Because Deskly is self-hosted, "offline" is your call — run it on a LAN or behind a VPN and it never touches the public internet.
Deskly on Self-Hosted VPS — honest answers
Is it really free on GitHub?
Yes — Deskly is MIT-licensed at github.com/bensblueprints/helpdesk-tickets-mvp and always will be. The $49 buys the packaged installer, 1-click setup and updates; building from source is free.
Where does my ticket data live?
In a SQLite file on your own server. Nothing is uploaded to us or anyone else — no cloud, no telemetry, no account with us.
