System Overview
In the self-host version of TypingMind, there are two main components:
The app server (NodeJS app)
This is where the data is received and processed. The app server provides two web portals: The Admin Panel for the admins to configure the instance and the Chat Interface for your end users.
The app database (MySQL database)
This is where the data is securely stored.
Note: The system does not include an LLM model or an AI provider. TypingMind only provides the chat interface and the management system around it. After setting up the system, you will need to connect it to an AI provider (OpenAI's ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or a private LLM model that you run in your infrastructure).

Technical Requirements
- •Docker-compatible server.
- •MySQL 8.x for storing data.
Installation
The setup process is straightforward and takes approximately 30 minutes:
- 1.Purchase Self-host license - Get your license key and access to the Docker image
- 2.Set up a MySQL 8.x database - Use any MySQL hosting provider (must have 1+ CPU, 4GB+ RAM)
- 3.Configure environment variables - Set up database URL, SMTP, hostname, and license key
- 4.Deploy Docker container - Pull and run the official Docker image on your infrastructure
- 5.Connect your custom domain - Point your domain to the server
- 6.Complete setup - Visit /setup URL to configure your instance via admin panel
How to receive updates
- •The Business plan comes with 1 year of free updates.
- •Software updates will be released via the GitHub repo.
- •Auto-update: you can set up an automation to pull and redeploy anytime there's a new change in the GitHub repository.
- •After 1 year, you can renew your license to continue receiving updates.
Buy more seats & renew
- •You can buy more seats/users anytime.
- •There is a payment link in the admin panel for you to buy and renew your self-host version.
Security & Privacy
All data are stored in your MySQL database and never sent anywhere else.
There is strictly no user data sent out to any other external services. This can be verified using various black-box testing methods like monitoring network requests from the app.
There are only three types of external network requests that will be made from the self-host app:
- •Requests to OpenAI/Anthropic: this is the core functionality of the app, allowing you to chat with AI. If you use an internal private LLM, no requests to OpenAI/Anthropic will be made.
- •Requests to check for software updates: this is to notify you when there is a new update to upgrade. This request will be sent to TypingMind's server and only contain minimal information needed to check for updates.
- •Requests to check for license: this is to verify the valid license of your self-host instance and ensure that you're using the correct amount of users as per your contract/subscribed plan. This request will be sent to TypingMind's server and only contain minimal information needed to check for updates, with no user data included.
