Running it yourself keeps prompts, documents, and the provider keys stored in Dify on infrastructure you administer. The license allows internal use and using Dify as the backend of your own products, but running it as a multi-tenant service for outside customers, or removing the Dify logo from the frontend, needs a commercial license.\n\nThe official Docker Compose file starts **about fifteen containers**. Dify's API, a websocket API, a Celery worker and scheduler, the web app, a plugin daemon, and an agent backend come from Dify's own images. Around them run PostgreSQL (or MySQL) for apps, users, and run history, Redis as the task broker and cache, Weaviate for the knowledge bases' vectors, two code sandboxes for code nodes, two Squid proxies that keep server-side requests away from internal addresses, and NGINX in front. Dify's floor is 2 CPU cores and 4 GB of RAM; once knowledge bases fill, an 8 GB server leaves headroom. Everything durable sits in the volumes directory next to the Compose file.\n\n**Exposure comes with the bundle.** NGINX listens on port 80 and routes the console, the web apps, the API, and the plugin endpoints, so there is no separate reverse proxy to choose: enable HTTPS in the .env file and run the optional certbot profile for a Let's Encrypt certificate, remembering that it does not schedule renewals. Before the address goes public, set INIT_PASSWORD, because otherwise whoever opens the \u002Finstall page first creates the admin account, and replace the fixed passwords and keys the example .env ships for the database, Redis, the vector store, the sandbox, the plugin daemon, and the agent backend. A self-hosted PaaS template is the alternative that generates those secrets and terminates TLS, and a tunnel works when nothing on the server may accept inbound traffic.\n\n**Models and tools arrive as plugins.** Each workspace adds model providers from the Dify Marketplace (OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, a local Ollama server, or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint), and every app picks its own model, so the server needs no model to start. Uploaded files and documents stay on the local volume unless object storage is configured, and tracing to an external tool is a per-app setting in Dify's Monitoring page.

The self-hosted Community Edition has none of those caps and costs a server plus what the model providers bill, and it keeps documents, prompts, and stored provider keys on infrastructure you administer. What it costs is operating about fifteen containers, the upgrades, and the backups. The license draws the line at offering Dify to outside customers as a multi-tenant service and at removing its branding; Dify Premium on AWS covers branding, and Enterprise adds SSO and multi-workspace management by quote.",{"question":1079,"answer":1080},"What size server does Dify need?","Dify's Docker Compose guide sets the floor at 2 CPU cores and 4 GB of RAM, which runs all fifteen containers for a trial or a small team. The figure that moves is the vector store: Weaviate keeps its index in memory, so a few large knowledge bases are what push a server from 4 GB toward 8 GB, and 8 GB is the comfortable size once a team uploads real document sets. The workers and the API scale with how many workflows run at once, not with the number of users. Disk has no official floor; it grows with uploaded files, vectors, and run logs. A local model is a separate requirement, far larger than Dify itself.",{"question":1082,"answer":1083},"Where does state live, and what needs backing up?","The volumes directory next to the Compose file holds all of it: the PostgreSQL data with apps, conversations, and encrypted credentials, the Weaviate index, Redis, uploaded files and documents, and the installed plugins. Back it up together with the .env file, either with the stack stopped or with a pg_dump plus a copy of the other directories. Treat SECRET_KEY like a backup itself: when it is empty, Dify generates one into the storage directory, and changing or losing it logs everyone out, breaks file links, and breaks OAuth-based plugins, so set it explicitly and keep it next to the backups rather than inside them. Moving files to object storage leaves less on the server to copy.",{"question":1085,"answer":1086},"How do upgrades and the license work?","Each release has its own upgrade notes, and the routine is the same: back up the volumes directory and the .env file, check out the new release tag, bring any new settings into your .env, and start the stack again. The dify-env-sync.sh script next to the Compose file does the middle step: it saves a timestamped copy of your .env, adds the variables that are new in .env.example without overwriting your values, and lists the ones that were removed. Optional settings live in separate templates under envs\u002F, so compare those too if you copied any. Database migrations run when the API container starts, and Weaviate server upgrades occasionally need steps of their own, which Dify documents. The code is under a modified Apache 2.0 license: commercial and internal use are allowed, but running Dify as a multi-tenant service for outside customers, or removing the Dify logo from the frontend, needs a commercial license. SSO and multi-workspace management are Enterprise features, priced by quote.",{"question":1088,"answer":1089},"Dify or Langflow for a self-hosted AI builder?","Both build agents and RAG pipelines on a visual canvas, but they are shaped for different builders. Dify is a complete platform: knowledge bases with their own ingestion settings, apps published as web apps and widgets, workspaces with members, and a plugin marketplace, which suits a team where non-developers build and publish apps. Langflow is lighter, one container and a database, and treats each flow as an API endpoint or MCP tool for other code to call, with custom Python components and an MIT license without Dify's conditions. Pick Dify when the output is a finished app for end users, Langflow when developers build flows that their own products call.
