Bring your own machine

Install ComputeBay
on hardware you already own.

The full open-source platform, self-installed in one line. Point it at a spare machine and you get the same dashboard and one-click catalog that ships on every ComputeBay appliance.

Linux install script

Recommended

The turnkey path. Provisions the platform, Docker, and the reverse proxy, then walks you through connecting your domain. Re-running it later is a safe upgrade.

#curl -sSL cdn.avtechno.org/cpb/install.sh | bash

Built and tested on Debian 13. Most modern Linux distributions (Ubuntu, Fedora, and other systemd-based systems) work fine.

Docker image

Advanced

Prefer to wire it into an existing Docker or Compose setup? Pull the container image directly and run it however you orchestrate everything else.

$docker pull ghcr.io/avtechno-era/computebay-platform:canary

The canary tag tracks the latest platform build — pin a versioned tag for production.
