Arivu Is Simpler to Self-Host Now

Mon, 15 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Arivu is moving in a simpler direction.

Update, July 2026: Since this post, Arivu added a first-party Linux VPS installer with plan, backup, restore, upgrade, reconfigure, and shared-proxy modes. The Go and SQLite runtime shape below is still current, but the recommended production path is now covered in Safer Self-Hosting, Less Guesswork and the guided self-hosting guide.

The app is now rebuilt around one Go application that serves the web UI, API, background workers, CLI commands, and migration tooling. The shipped frontend is embedded into the binary. Persistence is SQLite. Provider integrations use direct HTTP calls. The result is a self-hosted Arivu that has fewer pieces to run, fewer dependency trees to audit, and a clearer operational model.

Historical note, July 2026: This post describes the first open-source self-hosting setup. Arivu has since been rebuilt as a Go application with embedded frontend assets and SQLite persistence, and AI provider configuration is optional rather than required for the core workflow. See Arivu Is Simpler to Self-Host Now and the current self-hosting guide for the supported deployment model.

Arivu is open source. The entire application - backend, frontend, browser extension - is now available on GitHub under the MIT license. You can read the code, run it on your own server, and contribute back.
