Self-host Wolcom for free
Wolcom is built to be self-hosted. You can run it on your own server, in your own production network or in your own cloud environment.
Self-hosting is always free.
The project is released under the MIT License, which means you can use it, modify it and deploy it without paying license fees.
Why self-host?
Full control
You control the server, the users, the channels and the data. Nothing has to leave your own environment unless you want it to.
No monthly license cost
Self-hosted Wolcom is free to use. There are no per-user fees, no channel fees and no hidden license costs.
Works for local productions
For venues, theatres, studios and production companies with their own network infrastructure, self-hosting can be the most reliable and cost-effective option.
Easy to customize
Since Wolcom is open source, your team can adapt it to your own technical setup, workflows and branding.
Who is self-hosting for?
Self-hosting is ideal for:
- Production companies
- Theatres and venues
- Broadcast teams
- Event companies
- Schools and universities
- Developers and technical teams
- Anyone who wants full control over their communication system
What you need
To self-host Wolcom, you will need a server or computer that can run the Wolcom backend, a network connection, and client devices such as phones, tablets or computers.
More detailed installation instructions will be available in the documentation as the project develops.
Always free
The self-hosted version of Wolcom will remain free. Hosted services may be offered later for teams that want Wolcom managed for them, but self-hosting will always be an option.
