Linkleaf 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
Download the installer
Download the latest Linkleaf installer from the GitHub Releases page (https://github.com/bensblueprints/Link-Leaf-mvp/releases) — or build it yourself from the MIT source.
Install
Run the installer — one click, no terminal, no account to create.
Run it locally
Linkleaf runs 100% on your machine — no account, no telemetry, and it keeps working with the Wi-Fi off.
What works offline: everything. Linkleaf is a desktop app — once it's installed, no feature needs a connection to us.
Linkleaf on Self-Hosted VPS — honest answers
Is it really free on GitHub?
Yes — MIT source at github.com/bensblueprints/Link-Leaf-mvp, always. $19 buys the packaged installer, 1-click setup and updates.
Do I need a server?
For a public page, yes — a $5 VPS with the included Docker setup. Even VPS + Linkleaf in year one costs about what Linktree charges, and after that the app itself is free forever. Desktop mode works for building and previewing your page.
