Self-Hosted

Your Server.
Your Store.

Deploy a fully independent Mobazha store on any server with a single command. Cloud VPS or home server — no accounts, no platform dependencies. Your data never leaves your server.

Is self-hosting right for you?

Same software, same 0% commission — the only difference is who runs the server.

Self-host if you...
  • Want data on a server you control — no KYC gatekeeper
  • Value pseudonymity — optional Tor / Lokinet overlay
  • Are comfortable with a terminal — or have an AI assistant that is
Get the install command
Start with SaaS if you...
  • Want to be selling in 5 minutes with no server setup
  • Don’t want to babysit Linux, certs, or updates
  • Can migrate to self-host later — your data is portable
Start on SaaS in 30 seconds

What happens when you run the command

1

Install

A single binary is downloaded to your machine. No Docker, no runtime dependencies. With the Docker method, images are pulled and services start automatically.

2

Open /admin

Open your store URL in a browser. The Setup Wizard guides you through password, store name, and currency.

3

Start Selling

Add products, configure payments, and share your store link. You're live.

Advanced install options

Native binary

Start with a domain (auto-TLS via Let’s Encrypt):

mobazha start --domain shop.example.com

Install as a system service (Linux systemd / macOS launchd):

sudo mobazha setup-service install

Back up your store data:

mobazha backup -o ~/mobazha-backup.tar.gz

Uninstall (removes binary & service, keeps data):

curl -sSL https://get.mobazha.org/install | bash -s -- --uninstall

Add --purge to also remove data. Run --help for all options.


Docker

Pre-configure a domain (auto-TLS via Let’s Encrypt):

curl -sSL https://get.mobazha.org/standalone | sudo bash -s -- --domain shop.example.com

Privacy mode with Tor:

curl -sSL https://get.mobazha.org/standalone | sudo bash -s -- --overlay tor

You can also enable or switch overlay networks later from Admin → System → Network without re-installing.

Where to run your store

Run locally on your Mac, Windows PC, or Raspberry Pi — or deploy to a cloud VPS. Any machine with 2+ CPU cores and 2 GB+ RAM works. Behind NAT? Your store stays reachable via the Mobazha network.

Frequently asked questions

What are the minimum server requirements?
2 CPU cores, 2 GB RAM, 20 GB SSD storage. Native binary works on Linux (x86_64/ARM64), macOS, and Windows. Docker option requires Ubuntu 22.04+ or Debian 12+.
Should I use the native binary or Docker?
Desktop tray — available for macOS and Windows. System tray icon, auto-opens your browser. On macOS, install via the curl command (tray is included automatically). On Windows, download the .zip.
Native binary (CLI) — single executable, no dependencies. Best for Linux servers, ARM devices (Raspberry Pi), and power users.
Docker — includes automatic updates via systemd timer. Best for Linux VPS if you already use Docker.
Do I need a public IP or domain name?
No. Your store automatically connects to the Mobazha network, so buyers can find you through the marketplace and Telegram. A domain is optional — you can add one later for a custom store URL.
Can I run this at home instead of a VPS?
Yes — just install and it works, even without a static IP. Buyers reach your store through the Mobazha marketplace. Want a shareable link too? Add --overlay tor or --overlay lokinet for a direct address, or turn it on later from Admin → System → Network.
How do backups work?
Run mobazha backup to create a compressed archive of your store data. For Docker, use standard tools (rsync, restic, etc.) to back up /opt/mobazha/data.
Can I migrate to/from SaaS later?
Yes. Your store data is fully exportable. You can migrate between self-hosted and SaaS at any time.
Is this free?
The software is free during Beta. You only pay for your server. After Beta, self-hosted nodes will have the same zero-commission pricing — you only pay for optional premium features.
