What you get

SiYuan runs on a subscription — a pool of CPU, memory and disk that you own. Deploying it takes one click, and the same pool will run your other apps at no extra charge.

A hostname with HTTPS, immediately

Your app is reachable the moment it finishes deploying, on a certificate we issue and renew. Point your own domain at it whenever you like.

Nothing exposed but the app

Only SiYuan itself gets a public port. Anything it depends on stays on a private network unreachable from the internet.

A shell and SFTP

A real shell in the container and SFTP for its files. This is not a black box — if you want to get in and look, you can.

Updates you control

We check nightly for a new image and tell you when one lands. Applying it is your decision, per app, and a failed update rolls back to the exact image it replaced.

A free snapshot

One full archive of SiYuan included, restorable in a click. Keep more with the snapshots add-on.

Your data, exportable

SFTP access to everything the app stores. Nothing here is locked in.

What actually runs

No mystery images. SiYuan deploys one container, and these are exactly the ones:

  • b3log/siyuan@sha256:92aa9c361b09657141011ca57c02cccb21ba9f3ddc2c0759a99acd52f29b3f70web

Running SiYuan yourself vs. running it here

SiYuan is free software and you can absolutely run it yourself — we would rather tell you that than pretend otherwise. What you are paying for here is the part around it.

On your own server

  • You write the compose file and keep it working
  • You configure a reverse proxy and renew certificates
  • You watch for new releases and apply them
  • You own the backups, and finding out they were broken

On Caliber Node

  • One click, and it is running on HTTPS
  • Certificates issued and renewed for you
  • Update checks nightly, applied when you say so
  • A free snapshot, restorable in a click

Questions about SiYuan hosting

Can I try SiYuan for free?
Yes. Every new account gets $5.00 of Cloud Apps credit, applied automatically to your first invoice -- there is no code to enter and no card trial to cancel. On the plan SiYuan needs, that covers your first 2 months.
How do I install SiYuan?
Pick SiYuan from the catalog and deploy it. There is no compose file to write, no server to prepare and no reverse proxy to configure. It comes up on a hostname with HTTPS already working.
What does hosting SiYuan cost?
SiYuan needs at least 512 MB memory, so the Nano subscription at $2.00/mo is the smallest that fits it. That size is a close fit for SiYuan on its own -- if you want to run other apps alongside it, take the next plan up and share the pool.
Do I get access to the SiYuan files and database?
Yes. Every app has a browser shell into its container, SFTP for its files. Your data is yours and you can take it out whenever you want.
Are updates to SiYuan automatic?
Only if you turn them on. We check nightly for a new image and tell you when one exists, but applying it is your call, per app.
Can I use my own domain for SiYuan?
Yes. Every app gets a hostname on our domain immediately, and you can point your own domain at it instead. Certificates are issued and renewed automatically either way.
Can I back SiYuan up?
Every app includes one free snapshot -- a full archive of its data you can restore from. Keeping more than one is a paid add-on on the subscription.
