Self-host Enclosed
Send private and secure notes
Deploy Enclosed 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 Enclosed 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 Enclosed runs on Freehold
Enclosed 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 Enclosed 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 Enclosed's volume data from the dashboard whenever you want. No SSH.
Metered hourly with a hard monthly ceiling. Stop Enclosed and the charges stop.
Sign up with an email or GitHub. There is no identity check to run Enclosed, at any usage level.
Questions about self-hosting Enclosed
- Do I need to verify my identity to deploy Enclosed?
- 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 Enclosed — and none introduced later as your usage grows.
- Is my Enclosed instance private?
- Each Enclosed 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 Enclosed on Freehold cost?
- You pay for the hours Enclosed 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.
