Want to host NodeBB on your own?
NodeBB is open source software that is free for anyone to download and install on their own server under the terms of the GNU General Public Licence (GPLv3).
The code can be found at our project repository on GitHub, and installation instructions can be found in our documentation portal.
If you do not have a server, we recommend using DigitalOcean to host NodeBB. They do charge based on your usage, but you can get a month of free hosting from them by following this link.
