Self-hosted workspace

Your server.
Your control.

Arciin is a self-hosted private workspace for files, media, AI, passwords, APIs, and databases — running on hardware you own. Libraries, models, smart search, encrypted passwords, mobile access, APIs, and live events — on hardware you own.

Mobile PWA · pair with your instance

Your instance in your pocket.

Install the companion app on your phone, pair with a six-digit code, and browse jobs, uploads, storage, and live events from the same Arciin server — no separate cloud account.

Home overview, files, models, and chat stay in sync on your network while the heavy lifting stays on hardware you control.

Arciin mobile PWA — home overview with jobs, uploads, storage, and live events

Your server stays home.

Control it from anywhere.

Arciin is built for self-hosting first — then reaches every device you use. Desktop dashboard, mobile PWA, and optional remote access without giving up ownership.

Runs on hardware you control

Global reach · private by default

One instance. Every screen you trust.

Drag the globe · orange markers show where you can connect from

On your LAN first

Arciin runs on the machine you own. Browse, upload, and manage libraries from any device on your network — phones, tablets, laptops on the same Wi‑Fi — with no cloud middleman and no account required. Your files never leave the building unless you choose remote access.

Remote when you choose

Add a domain, reverse proxy, or tunnel only when you want access away from home. Caddy, Nginx, Cloudflare Tunnel, and Tailscale are all optional — Arciin does not require any hosted service. You decide when the instance is reachable from the internet.

Mobile anywhere

Pair the installable PWA once with a six-digit code, then open your instance from coffee shops, travel, or the office. Keys, sessions, and files stay on your server — the phone is just another screen pointed at hardware you control.

03

Private AI chat

Ask questions about PDFs, images, docs, spreadsheets, and audio using models you connect — local or cloud.

Wire up OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Mistral, Cohere, or Ollama. Keys stored on your instance, never sent to Arciin cloud.

05

Encrypted password vault

Save logins in an AES-256-GCM vault with Argon2id master protection. Unlock on desktop or mobile when you need credentials.

06

Mobile PWA

Install the companion app, pair with a six-digit code, browse libraries, upload from your phone, and stay synced on your network.

07

Database & app data

Inspect PostgreSQL tables, app databases, and instance metadata from the dashboard without exposing raw server paths.

08

API keys & webhooks

Issue scoped keys for automation, subscribe to events, and integrate with the stack you already run at home.

09

Live events & jobs

Watch uploads, thumbnails, imports, and worker jobs stream over Socket.IO. Pause, filter, and debug in real time.

10

Roles & security

Owner, Admin, Member, and Viewer roles. Hashed sessions, hashed API keys, and a self-hosted perimeter you control.

Install

Install in minutes.

Run Arciin on your Linux server, mini PC, NAS, or private cloud. One command — no hosted account required.

$ curl -fsSL https://get.arciin.com/install.sh | bash

Debian / Ubuntu / WSL · Docker · view source

  1. 01

    Run one command

    Install on Debian/Ubuntu, WSL, or Docker. The script prepares services and storage paths.

  2. 02

    Claim your instance

    Create the owner account with your setup token. Setup locks after first claim.

  3. 03

    Connect modules

    Upload files, pair mobile, connect AI models, unlock the vault, and watch live events.

Security

Private by design. Encrypted where it matters.

Arciin is built for self-hosters who want storage, AI, and credentials on infrastructure they control — with encryption and hashing baked into the core flows.

Encrypted vault

Passwords sealed with AES-256-GCM. Master unlock uses Argon2id. Sessions and API keys stored as hashes only.

Your keys stay local

AI provider keys, vault data, and file binaries never leave the machine you run Arciin on.

No telemetry

No analytics pipeline, no cloud account, no phone-home. You operate the perimeter.

Role-based access

Owner, Admin, Member, and Viewer roles enforced across uploads, settings, and developer tools.

Take your files home.

Free self-hosted core. Premium features available with an Arciin license.
