Your Memories, Your Rules

Host Journiv entirely on your own server — from a small Raspberry Pi to a full enterprise cluster.

Key Benefits

Fast deployment: Deploy with Docker in under a minute

Full data ownership: your journal entries, media, and history always stay on your infrastructure.

Flexible deployment: run Journiv on any server, VPS, NAS, or cloud provider you prefer.

Full control of access: manage authentication through built-in login, OIDC, or your own SSO.

Security on your terms: customize passwords, SSL, firewalls, and reverse proxy rules to match your environment.

Scales with you: from a single private user to an entire family or small team setup.

Integrates with your ecosystem: works smoothly with existing identity providers, media storage, and backups.

No vendor lock-in: you decide how and where Journiv runs, with full portability of your data with JSON, Markdown and HTML exports. See your entries even when you don't have Journiv running anywhere with journiv-viewer.
