Frequently asked questions (FAQ) Can I self-host Firezone?
Our license won't stop you from self-hosting the entire Firezone product top to bottom, but we can't commit the resources to make this a smooth experience and therefore don't support self-hosting the control plane at this time.
If you have a business case requiring an on-prem installation of Firezone please get in touch.
If you're feeling especially adventurous and want to self-host Firezone for educational or recreational purposes, you'll want to build and distribute the clients from source to ensure they remain locked to a version compatible with your self-hosted control plane. Unfortunately, the following clients must be distributed through proprietary app stores due to restrictions imposed by Apple and Google:
Because it's impossible to select which client version to install from a particular app store, building and distributing Firezone from source is the only to way self-host Firezone at this time.
Otherwise, if you're hobbyist or developer and are looking to spin it up locally to contribute or experiment with, see CONTRIBUTING.md.
How do I upgrade from 0.7?
Unfortunately, you can't. The good news is Firezone 1.x is much easier to setup and manage than 0.x and so you probably don't need to.
How long will 0.7 be supported until?
Firezone 0.7 is currently end-of-life and will stop receiving updates after January 31st, 2024.
