Get Started
You mainly have two options for using Firefiles:
- Either you host it yourself (Self-Host)
- Or we host the app for you and you can use it right away (Hosted).
Hosted vs Self-Host
Let's see what are the differences between self-hosting your own instance or using a hosted instance.
| Hosted | Self-Host | |
|---|---|---|
| What is it? | We manage the Firefiles instance | You host your own instance |
| Features | All | All |
| Updates | Automatic | Manual |
| Pricing | Free (subject to change) | Free Forever |
| Security | Your keys encrypted with AES-256 | Your keys stay with you |
| Setup | Easy | A bit difficult |
| Background | Ideal for everyone | Ideal for technical people |
We have everything documented here for both the options. However, if you're still facing any issues, please feel free to reach us out by emailing us or by creating an issue at our GitHub repository.
