OwnBase

Build faster.
Own everything.

One server you own that runs everything you build with AI.

No SaaS lock-in. No software subscriptions.

Paste this into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, or your favourite coding agent.

Your agent will:

  • Install OwnBase on your server
  • Configure networking, certificates and DNS
  • Harden the system and close what shouldn't be open
  • Set up encrypted backups and verify they restore
  • Deploy your applications and confirm they're healthy

Eight subscriptions, or one server.

The same capabilities, on hardware you rent outright — with no vendor between you and your own data.

One bill. One machine. Your data.

Paste this URL into your AI coding agent.

Built for AI.
And humans.

Agents need a real computer, not a tenancy. On a Base, AI can read logs, inspect processes, stand up a database, and verify what it just did — no accounts to open, no API keys to provision, no vendor roadblocks outside its control.

You get a machine that stays healthy without you. Firewalls, patches, certificates, backups, recovery — handled. Monitor security and updates from the app; otherwise keep building, and the Base keeps the lights on.

Secure by default

  • Firewall and SSH hardening
  • Automatic security updates
  • Secrets encrypted, never in git

Backups you've tested

  • Encrypted and off-machine
  • Append-only, ransomware-proof
  • Restores verified, not assumed

Deploy anything

  • Containers, sites, APIs, workers
  • Postgres and other databases
  • Built from source, pinned

Rebuild from nothing

  • Your whole server is in git
  • Lose the machine, restore it
  • Same services, same data

Nothing is hidden.

Your whole server is a file you can read. Change it, commit it, and the machine reconciles to match. That's why an agent can operate it — and why you can audit what it did.

ownbase.yaml
1 services:
2 api:
3 repo: github.com/you/api
4 ref: 9f2c1ab
5 domains: [api.example.com]
  • ref — pinned commit, built from source.
  • domains — certificate issued automatically.
Read the config format

Run a pool of AI agents on it.

Spin up as many coding agents as you need on the same server as your apps. They run on hardware you control — not a separate product, and nothing routed through us.

  • One line to scale

    Need four agents? Change a number. No new product to buy.

  • Each agent keeps its workspace

    State stays on the worker that owns it. Nothing shared by accident.

  • You control the routing

    Which agent gets which job is your code — not a black-box scheduler.

  • Same machine as production

    Real logs, real deploys. Nothing through us.

How replicas work

Works with

  • Claude Code
  • Codex
  • Cursor
  • OpenCode
  • Gemini CLI
  • Aider

If we disappear,
nothing stops working.

There's no account, no control plane, and no server of ours that your Base depends on. OwnBase is MIT licensed and you are free to fork it, audit it, or ignore us entirely — your server keeps running either way.

AI made building software cheap. Keeping it online still usually means a stack of monthly platform bills. OwnBase replaces that rent with one server you own.

Start with one URL.
