Self-hosted workspace
Arciin is a self-hosted private workspace for files, media, AI, passwords, APIs, and databases — running on hardware you own. Libraries, models, smart search, encrypted passwords, mobile access, APIs, and live events — on hardware you own.

Overview, AI Chat, All Files, and your Libraries — Inbox, Videos, Images, Music, and Documents — plus live Activity from uploads, imports, and jobs on your instance.
Mobile PWA · pair with your instance
Install the companion app on your phone, pair with a six-digit code, and browse jobs, uploads, storage, and live events from the same Arciin server — no separate cloud account.
Home overview, files, models, and chat stay in sync on your network while the heavy lifting stays on hardware you control.

Your server stays home.
Arciin is built for self-hosting first — then reaches every device you use. Desktop dashboard, mobile PWA, and optional remote access without giving up ownership.
Runs on hardware you controlGlobal reach · private by default
One instance. Every screen you trust.
Drag the globe · orange markers show where you can connect from
Arciin runs on the machine you own. Browse, upload, and manage libraries from any device on your network — phones, tablets, laptops on the same Wi‑Fi — with no cloud middleman and no account required. Your files never leave the building unless you choose remote access.
Add a domain, reverse proxy, or tunnel only when you want access away from home. Caddy, Nginx, Cloudflare Tunnel, and Tailscale are all optional — Arciin does not require any hosted service. You decide when the instance is reachable from the internet.
Pair the installable PWA once with a six-digit code, then open your instance from coffee shops, travel, or the office. Keys, sessions, and files stay on your server — the phone is just another screen pointed at hardware you control.

Global search spans every library on your instance. Filters stack so you can narrow from thousands of files in seconds.




Auto-sort into Videos, Images, Music, Documents, and Inbox. Drag-and-drop anywhere, import links, queue retries, and track progress live.
Search files, folders, and metadata with filters. Browse by library, type, owner, and recency from desktop or mobile.
Ask questions about PDFs, images, docs, spreadsheets, and audio using models you connect — local or cloud.
Wire up OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Mistral, Cohere, or Ollama. Keys stored on your instance, never sent to Arciin cloud.
Save logins in an AES-256-GCM vault with Argon2id master protection. Unlock on desktop or mobile when you need credentials.
Install the companion app, pair with a six-digit code, browse libraries, upload from your phone, and stay synced on your network.
Inspect PostgreSQL tables, app databases, and instance metadata from the dashboard without exposing raw server paths.
Issue scoped keys for automation, subscribe to events, and integrate with the stack you already run at home.
Watch uploads, thumbnails, imports, and worker jobs stream over Socket.IO. Pause, filter, and debug in real time.
Owner, Admin, Member, and Viewer roles. Hashed sessions, hashed API keys, and a self-hosted perimeter you control.
Install
Run Arciin on your Linux server, mini PC, NAS, or private cloud. One command — no hosted account required.
$ curl -fsSL https://get.arciin.com/install.sh | bashDebian / Ubuntu / WSL · Docker · view source
Install on Debian/Ubuntu, WSL, or Docker. The script prepares services and storage paths.
Create the owner account with your setup token. Setup locks after first claim.
Upload files, pair mobile, connect AI models, unlock the vault, and watch live events.
Security
Arciin is built for self-hosters who want storage, AI, and credentials on infrastructure they control — with encryption and hashing baked into the core flows.
Passwords sealed with AES-256-GCM. Master unlock uses Argon2id. Sessions and API keys stored as hashes only.
AI provider keys, vault data, and file binaries never leave the machine you run Arciin on.
No analytics pipeline, no cloud account, no phone-home. You operate the perimeter.
Owner, Admin, Member, and Viewer roles enforced across uploads, settings, and developer tools.
Free self-hosted core. Premium features available with an Arciin license.
