Kodus is open-source and can be self-hosted on your own infrastructure. This gives you full control over your data, network access, and LLM provider.

​
Deployment options

Deploy Kodus using Docker Compose on any VM:
  1. Clone the Kodus repository
  2. Configure environment variables
  3. Run docker compose up
  4. Access the web UI and connect your Git provider

​
Local development

For testing or contributing:
  1. Use the orchestrator for a quick local setup
  2. Includes all services in a single command

​
What you control

  • Data — all code and review data stays on your infrastructure
  • LLM provider — use any provider or self-hosted models
  • Network — runs behind your firewall, no external access required
  • Configuration — full control over all settings

​
Requirements

  • Docker and Docker Compose
  • Sufficient compute resources for the API and worker services
  • Network access to your Git provider (GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket)
