Why No Self-hosting?
Lukittu was originally designed as a SaaS solution, not as a self-hosted, single-tenant application. The platform makes several architectural assumptions:- Multi-tenant environment where anyone can register
- Users can create their own teams
- Shared database and infrastructure
Third-Party Service Dependencies
Lukittu uses third-party services that are tightly coupled with the application code:- Sentry for error monitoring
- Stripe for subscription management
- Proxy/CDN (Cloudflare) configuration
- Other external services
Self-hosting Considerations
Self-hosting Lukittu is not recommended unless you have a strong understanding of its architecture and environment and you are aware of the drawbacks!Known Limitations
- No support for single-tenant usage
- No official documentation for self-hosting
- Platform assumptions may lead to breaking changes in self-hosted setups
- No dedicated support for self-hosted instances
