Paste this on any Linux box.
The installer detects your OS (Ubuntu / Debian / RHEL / Alpine), installs Docker if missing, generates random secrets for every datastore, computes a stable instance fingerprint, and brings up the full stack. By default it boots in Community mode— no card needed.
What you need: a 4 vCPU / 8 GB box (Hetzner CPX31 €13.10/mo or equivalent), root access, internet egress on 443. Tested on Ubuntu 22.04 / 24.04, Debian 12, Rocky 9, Alpine 3.20.
Prefer to read it first? View install.sh on GitHub — open source, ~360 lines, no obfuscation.
Free until you outgrow it.
Run forever in Community mode, no card. Buy a license when you outgrow the cap. Pay per server, not per seat.

Four things you don’t have to think about.
One line to install
Detects your OS, installs Docker, generates random secrets, brings up 17 services. No manual config files. No copy-paste secrets.
HTTPS out of the box
Auto Let’s Encrypt for any domain you point at the box. Or take the auto-provisioned `lc-<8hex>.lc-cloud.io` sub-domain — already-trusted certs from second one.
Cluster with one more line
Spin up a second box, paste a join token, the installer wires the WireGuard mesh, NATS replica, and SFU cascade. No SSH key shuffling.
Per-node Ed25519 license
Pay only for the boxes you actually run. Each server gets a fingerprint-bound JWT — copy a VM, license refuses to verify. No DRM theatre, just clean math.
Add a second box. Paste a token. Done.
Mint a 24-hour join token from your leader’s admin (Cluster → Add node). Run the same one-liner on the new box with two extra env vars:
The worker auto-registers in cluster_nodes, joins the WireGuard mesh, attaches the NATS JetStream replica, and starts cascading SFU traffic. The leader’s UI surfaces the new node as pending license until you assign a per-node JWT to it.
Each node billed at $25/server/mo regardless of size
Per-node fingerprint, no key sharing
SFU cascade promotes mid-call automatically
Your code stays your code.
