Self-Hosting overview

GeoJibe can run on a server you operate. Self-hosted GeoJibe is the same product whether GeoJibe manages the host (Dedicated) or you do (On-Site / On-Premise). Those labels describe who operates the server, not different software editions.

There are two deployment methods:

• Ubuntu / APT
• Docker Compose

Docker is another way to run the same GeoJibe application. It is not a separate product and it uses the same licensing and activation process.

Compare the methods

	Ubuntu / APT	Docker
Installation	GeoJibe APT package	Docker Compose
Setup	geojibe-setup	geojibe-setup container
Runtime	systemd	Docker Compose
Updates	APT	Container image update
Licensing	GeoJibe licensing	Same GeoJibe licensing

On-Site customers use the normal GeoJibe activation process during setup. You do not configure a different license system for Docker.

Choose a method

Ubuntu / APT

Install the GeoJibe package on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS. Setup configures systemd, Apache, and HTTPS.

Docker

Run the official image with Compose. Setup writes application state; you terminate HTTPS on your own proxy.
