Self-host Dub
Link management infrastructure for marketing teams
Deploy Dub on your own instance with Freehold in one click. Freehold runs the container, issues the TLS certificate, keeps your data on a persistent volume, and gives Dub a free Tor .onion address — with no identity check to sign up and a hard cap on what it can cost you each month.
How Dub runs on Freehold
Dub runs in its own container with its own volumes on a private network — nothing else on Freehold can reach its data or its ports.
A valid HTTPS certificate and a free Tor v3 .onion address are provisioned at deploy time. You can also run Dub onion-only.
Turn on automatic image updates and the container is replaced on a new release; your volumes are never touched.
Download a ZIP of Dub's volume data from the dashboard whenever you want. No SSH.
Metered hourly with a hard monthly ceiling. Stop Dub and the charges stop.
Sign up with an email or GitHub. There is no identity check to run Dub, at any usage level.
Questions about self-hosting Dub
- Do I need to verify my identity to deploy Dub?
- No. Freehold asks for an email and a password, or a GitHub login. There is no ID upload, phone verification, or business check to deploy Dub — and none introduced later as your usage grows.
- Is my Dub instance private?
- Each Dub deployment is an isolated container with its own storage on a private network. It gets a free Tor .onion address alongside its normal URL, and you can run it onion-only so it is reachable exclusively over Tor.
- How much does running Dub on Freehold cost?
- You pay for the hours Dub is actually running, metered hourly, with a hard monthly ceiling on the app so the bill can't run away. Stop the app and billing for it stops. There is no flat subscription and no setup fee.
