Your Own Self-Hosted Instance ​

You are an iOS developer or a team of developers and want to distribute your apps hazzle-free through SideStore?
Do you want to create your own SideStore source an manage your apps (and maybe even let friends manage their apps?) easily using a beautiful and web UI?
You're in luck!

SideStore Connect is built from the ground up to be easily self-hostable. Depending on your prior knowledge, with this guide, you can be up and running in no time, helping to empower the freedom of sideloading!

But even without much prior knowledge in self-hosting, setting up an SideStore Connect instance is quite easily achievable with this guide. At least that's what I aimed for when writing this documentation.

This guide is split into the following parts:

• Introduction

• Getting Started
  Prerequisites and docker-compose (or local) setup.
• Configuration
  Core configuration steps necessary before your SideStore Connect instance can be started.
• Initial Setup
  The first steps after your instance is up and running.
• Updating / Migration
  Things to know when updating your SideStore Connect instance.
