Self Hosted

Run ekai in your own environment with automated installation—no friction, no waiting on our team. Sign up, follow the guided install, and manage everything yourself.

What to expect​

A guided install walks you through the steps:

  • One command to start
  • Automatic checks for missing tools, with optional install assistance
  • Secure sign-in to activate your trial
  • A full-featured 14-day trial
  • Resume support if the install is interrupted

Choose local Docker to evaluate quickly, or GCP when you want a cloud environment.

Where can you run it?​

Local (Docker)

Time: about 15–30 minutes

Run ekai on your machine for evaluation, demos, and early exploration.

  • Uses Docker Compose
  • Runs on your laptop or workstation
  • Best for trying before you commit

GCP (Automated)

Time: about 30–45 minutes

Stand up a production-ready environment in your Google Cloud project.

  • Infrastructure provisioned for you
  • TLS and DNS included
  • Suited for real workloads
Get started →

Both paths require signing up for a trial at licensing.ekai.ai first. See Prerequisites for details.
