Guides and news
Guides to self-hosting, AI hosting, AI agents and deploying with Dokploy, plus what is new in Host4AI.
Your first deploy in three steps Sign in, connect your Dokploy and choose an app. Host4AI creates the service in your Dokploy. Guides
Why you should self-host
Self-hosting means running software on a server you rent instead of paying per user for a cloud service. You choose where the data lives and which apps run.
Run AI apps on your own server
Run chat interfaces, AI workflows and agents on your VPS. They can use models through an API, such as Claude, or open models running on the server in Ollama.
How to run AI agents on your own server
An AI agent needs tools, a place to store data and a safe way to handle keys. This is how Host4AI does it.
How to deploy with Dokploy
Dokploy is an open-source platform that runs apps and databases in Docker containers on your own server. Host4AI sends apps and starters to your Dokploy.
Astro sites on your own server
Three Astro starters: Minimal, Landing and Blog. The site is built to static files that Nginx serves from a Docker container.
Next.js apps on your own server
Three Next.js starters: Minimal, Landing and Dashboard. The app runs as a standalone Node.js server in a Docker container.
What's new
Features as they ship, newest first.
- New connector: Claude can search your Google activity The connector copies search history, YouTube, Maps and Shopping activity and Chrome history once a day through Google's Data Portability API and keeps it on the server.
- MCP connectors for Claude and ChatGPT Our own MCP servers for Search Console, Analytics, Loopia, Dokploy, GitHub and more, behind one shared sign-in that only the owner can use.
- The workspace brings files, repositories and domains together Signed in, the owner sees files from Google Drive, repositories from GitHub, domains at Loopia and Simply.com and the server inventory in one place.
- Watch .se domains as they are released See which .se domains the Swedish Internet Foundation releases over the coming days, which are free, and register through Loopia.
- Deploy from the catalog to your Dokploy Pick an app from Dokploy's catalog or an Astro or Next.js starter and start it on your own server.
- Host4AI in Swedish and English Every page exists in both languages at its own address. Hreflang tells Google which version to show to whom.
