Host it yourself – free

KliqBook is free to self-host for your own business, with no limits on bookings, services or staff. You need a small Linux server (1 CPU, 512 MB RAM is plenty) and a domain name.

License: Elastic License 2.0 (© ByteTek Technologies LLC). You may use, modify and self-host it for your own business. You may not offer it to others as a hosted or managed service, or remove its license notices.

Option 1: one-command install (Ubuntu / Debian)

1. Point your domain (e.g. book.example.com) to your server's IP with an A record.
2. Copy the app to the server and run, as root:

sudo apt-get install -y unzip && unzip kliqbook-public.zip && cd kliqbook
sudo bash deploy/install.sh --domain book.example.com --email you@example.com

The script installs Node.js 20, the app, a systemd service and Caddy with automatic HTTPS. It is safe to re-run. To update, unpack the new version and run sudo bash deploy/update.sh from it: it backs up your database first and rolls back automatically if something goes wrong.

Option 2: Docker

cp .env.example .env    # set BASE_URL
docker compose up -d --build

Moving from the hosted version

1. In your hosted admin, open Settings → Export your data and download the JSON file.
2. On your new installation's first-run page choose Import from an export file.
3. Point your domain to the new server. Your services, staff, hours and bookings come with you, and customers' manage links keep working on the new domain.
4. Cancel the hosted subscription from Billing.
