GET STARTED

Pick your path

Three ways to get Cephalobot running. Start with one click, or go manual if you prefer.

Fastest Setup

Cloudflare Only

Deploy to the edge with one click. Cephalobot runs on your Cloudflare account — you own the infrastructure, we provide the system. Free tier gets you started.

Deploys to your Cloudflare account. Free tier includes 100K requests/day.

BEST FOR

Zero infrastructure, global edge, pay-per-use

MANUAL SETUP
  1. 1 Sign up for a free Cloudflare account (if you don't have one)
  2. 2 Clone the repository
  3. 3 Run the deploy script
$git clone https://github.com/emergentsolutions/cephalobot2
$cd cephalobot2
$scripts/deploy-all.sh
Full Control

Local Only

Run on your own machines. Your data never leaves your network. Works in air-gapped environments with zero external dependencies.

Installs Cephalobot and all dependencies on your machine.

BEST FOR

Full control, air-gapped environments, existing servers

MANUAL SETUP
  1. 1 Install Rust (if you don't have it)
  2. 2 Clone the repository
  3. 3 Build and run
$curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh
$git clone https://github.com/emergentsolutions/cephalobot2
$cd cephalobot2 && cargo build --release
Recommended

Hybrid

Your machines for compute, Cloudflare Tunnels for global reach. Local power with edge accessibility — best of both worlds.

Configures local Cephalobot with a Cloudflare Tunnel for edge access.

BEST FOR

Local compute + global reach, best of both worlds

MANUAL SETUP
  1. 1 Set up local Cephalobot (see Local steps)
  2. 2 Install cloudflared and create a tunnel
  3. 3 Connect your local instance to the edge
# After local setup:
$brew install cloudflared
$cloudflared tunnel create cephalobot
$cloudflared tunnel route dns cephalobot your-domain.com
$cloudflared tunnel run cephalobot

HOW IT WORKS

Your account, your infrastructure

When you deploy Cephalobot to Cloudflare, it runs entirely on your account. Your data stays in your infrastructure. We provide the system — you own the deployment.

Free tier

100K requests/day on Cloudflare's free plan. Enough to get started and evaluate.

Your data

Everything runs on your Cloudflare account. Audit logs, configs, plugins — all yours.

No lock-in

Switch to local or hybrid anytime. Your data is portable and the system is open.
