Rallly is 100% open-source and available under the [GNU Affero General Public License v3.0 (AGPL-3.0)](https://github.com/lukevella/rallly/blob/main/LICENSE)
which allows you to run your own instance of Rallly for free for both personal and commercial use.
Self-hosting Rallly gives you complete control over your instance and your data. You can customize it to your needs, integrate it within your own infrastructure, and manage user access directly.

## The Official Docker Image
## Official Docker Image
The primary and **officially supported method** for self-hosting Rallly is by using our **official Docker image**. This image contains a build specifically optimized for self-hosting, with features like billing automatically disabled and no feature-gating.
The best way to self-host Rallly is using the [official Docker image](https://hub.docker.com/r/lukevella/rallly).
This image contains a build that is specifically intended for self-hosting.
It is updated regularly but it is _not_ guaranteed to be up-to-date with the latest version of Rallly.
If you want to have access to the latest features and bug fixes, you should consider using the [official managed service](https://rallly.co).
These guides will walk you through using the Docker image:
* **[Installation](/self-hosting/installation/docker):** Setting up Rallly using Docker.
* **[Configuration](/self-hosting/configuration):** Customizing your instance with environment variables.
* **[Licensing](/self-hosting/licensing):** Understanding when a license is needed and how to manage it.
* **[Control Panel](/self-hosting/control-panel):** Managing your instance, users, and settings.
<Note>
Though it is technically possible to build and run Rallly from its
[source-code](https://github.com/lukevella/rallly), it is not recommended and
we do not provide support for this.
While Rallly's source code is publicly available, self-hosting directly from the source code is not officially supported. For a stable and optimized experience, please use the provided Docker image.
</Note>
## Live Demo
## Licensing
If you want to try out Rallly before self-hosting it, you can try the official managed service at [app.rallly.co](https://app.rallly.co).
This version differs slightly from the self-hosted version in that it allows guest users to create polls without having to create an account
and is updated more frequently but it's still a good way to get a feel for the app.
Rallly is free to self-host for **personal, single-user setups**. For instances with **multiple users**, we ask that you purchase a license. This helps support the ongoing development and maintenance of Rallly. You can find more details about the different tiers and how to purchase a license on our [Licensing page](/self-hosting/licensing).
## Pricing
## Before You Begin
Rallly is **completely free** to self-host but for users who wish to contribute to the project,
please check out the [pricing](/self-hosting/pricing) page.
Ensure you have a basic understanding of Docker and server management. While we aim to make the process straightforward, some technical knowledge is beneficial.
## Get Started
Depending on how comfortable you are with technical things, you can either run Rallly on your own server or choose a managed hosting provider that will do it for you.
