Choose self-hosted UI Bakery when deployment control matters

Self-hosted UI Bakery is for teams that need to build internal apps close to private data, inside an infrastructure model their security and platform teams can approve.

Best fit

  • Private databases or APIs are not exposed publicly.
  • Security review requires on-premise or private-cloud deployment.
  • Your team wants direct control over hosting, updates, backups, and network policy.

Operating model

Self-hosting gives more control, but your team also owns the environment: infrastructure, monitoring, backup policy, upgrade timing, and incident response.

Common use cases

Admin panels, operations dashboards, approval workflows, CRUD tools, and internal portals connected to private systems.

How the self-hosted deployment model works

According to UI Bakery public installation materials, self-hosted deployment uses Docker/Docker Compose and a license-key setup flow. Teams usually evaluate four layers: application platform, data connections, identity, and operations.

Cloud vs self-hosted UI Bakery

Choose Cloud whenChoose self-hosted when
You want the fastest pilot and minimal infrastructure work.Apps must run inside your own infrastructure model.
Data sources can be connected safely from a hosted setup.Databases or APIs are reachable only from a private network.
The first rollout is for a small team or lower-risk workflow.Security, platform, or procurement teams require deployment control.

Validate before rollout

  • Target infrastructure and network access
  • Credential and secret management
  • SSO, groups, RBAC, and MFA requirements

Plan operations

  • Backups and monitoring
  • Update testing and rollback
  • Ownership for incidents and access reviews

Check requirements

Public setup docs list a Linux-based OS, minimum 2 vCPUs, 4 GiB memory, 20 GiB storage, sudo access, and network access to required resources during installation/update.

Self-hosted UI Bakery FAQ

Is UI Bakery available as self-hosted software?

Yes. UI Bakery provides a self-hosted/on-premise option for teams that want to run the platform in their own infrastructure.

Is self-hosted the same as offline?

Not necessarily. Offline operation depends on the exact setup, licensing, update process, and network requirements, so validate it before committing.

Can it connect to private databases?

Yes. A common reason to choose self-hosted UI Bakery is to build internal apps on top of private databases, APIs, and services.

Who manages updates and backups?

In a self-hosted deployment, your team typically controls infrastructure, backup process, monitoring, and update timing.
