Self-Host

Run REM Labs on your own infrastructure.

Full data sovereignty. Same API. Mac Mini, Docker, Kubernetes, or bare metal.

Mac Mini

Turn your Mac Mini into a permanent memory server

One command. Always-on. Your memories never leave your hardware.

Shell
curl -fsSL https://get.remlabs.ai | sh
  • Always-on 24/7 -- auto-starts on boot via launchd. No babysitting required.
  • Apple Silicon optimized -- native arm64 binary. Low power consumption, silent operation.
  • Access from anywhere on your network -- available at rem.local via mDNS/Bonjour.
  • Same API, same SDKs -- point your existing code at http://rem.local:7700 and everything works.
Docker

Container deployment

Docker image access is available for enterprise customers. Contact dev@remlabs.ai to get started.

Shell
docker run -d \ --name remlabs \ -p 7700:7700 \ -v remlabs-data:/data \ -e REM_API_KEY=your-api-key \ -e REM_ENCRYPTION_KEY=your-encryption-key \ registry.remlabs.ai/remlabs-server:latest
Variable Description Required
REM_API_KEY Your REM Labs API key for authentication Yes
REM_ENCRYPTION_KEY AES-256 key for encrypting memories at rest Yes

Kubernetes

Helm chart for enterprise deployments

Helm chart available for enterprise Kubernetes deployments with configurable replicas, resource limits, persistent volume claims, and ingress. Contact dev@remlabs.ai for access and deployment guidance.

Comparison

Cloud vs. Self-Hosted

Both options use the same API and SDKs. Choose based on your requirements.

Feature Cloud Self-Hosted
Setup Instant -- sign up and go One command (Mac) or Docker pull
Infrastructure Fully managed by REM Labs Your hardware, your control
Updates Automatic -- always latest Manual updates on your schedule
Dream Engine Included Requires LLM API key
Data sovereignty US-based infrastructure Full control -- data never leaves your network
Air-gapped Not available Supported -- runs fully offline
Hardware Managed cloud Bring your own -- Mac Mini, server, VM
Maintenance Zero maintenance You manage backups and updates
