Open Source

Canine is open source, and free to use

Bring your own servers, or use our hosted version.

curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/czhu12/canine/refs/heads/main/install/install.sh | bash

Checking docker is installed...

Checking docker-compose is installed...

Enter the port you want to host Canine on (default: 3456):

Running on http://localhost:3456

(Run this on your laptop, not your cluster)

Focus on building your app, we'll handle the rest.

We're not a hosting provider, we're a devops team. Canine is able to connect to your servers, and run all the hard bits there, so the app itself can be free.
