Quarterdeck

The Self-Hosted Edition

Your ship. Your harbor.

The same Quarterdeck that powers our hosted sites, packaged to install on your own server — your database, your files, your rules. Your members never become someone else's product.

Download — coming soon Why self-host?

Own the whole ship.

One codebase, two editions. Self-hosting is the proof behind the promise.

Installs anywhere

A guided installer, not a sysadmin project. Runs on ordinary hosting with MySQL — or SQLite for a zero-configuration start. No Docker, no daemons, no plugin soup.

Nobody's calling out

No tracking, no analytics beacons, no license phone-home. Your member data lives in your database on your server, and it stays there.

First-party modules only

Every add-on module is built and signed by us — the installer only accepts signed packages. The biggest security hole in the big CMS platforms simply doesn't exist here.

Never stranded

Hosted and self-hosted are the identical platform. Start hosted and take your ship with you later — or the reverse. Worst case, you run the exact same software yourself, forever.

In final fit-out.

The self-hosted package — installer, docs, and module store — is being readied for launch. Want a line when it ships, or an early berth?
