Inside Dub open source (self-hosted)

Dub's self-hosting guide sets Dub up on your own servers and cloud infrastructure, for greater control over your data and design. The guide walks through services such as a Tinybird ClickHouse database and Cloudflare R2. Self-hosting is under the AGPLv3 license, so a modified version run as a hosted application must provide its source. Dub's hosted Business plan is $81 a month.
