1

Create an account

Create a free sslbrain Cloud account. The account holds your license, downloads, and the status of your installations.

2

Download your docker-compose.yml

From the account overview you download a personalized docker-compose.yml with a one-time installation token. The file is bound to your account.

3

Run on your Docker host

Place the file on your Docker host and start the service with your usual Docker compose tooling. First boot activates the license and pulls the signed components using the token.

Create your sslbrain Cloud account

No credit card. During pre-launch the account reserves your place, and we notify you when Community is ready to install.

Outbound only

The service connects outbound to fixed sslbrain endpoints, so no inbound ports from the internet are required.

All data local

Credentials, certificates, and private keys never leave your network.

Easy to remove

Stop the container and remove the volume, and there are no leftovers. The account can be re-used later.
