Availability

The canonical reference for where to get Ketesa.

Note: community-maintained and third-party entries can lag behind official releases. When in doubt, prefer the official release tarballs, containers, or the hosted instance.

Self-hosting or managed?

Ketesa is open source (Apache-2.0) and fully self-hostable; self-hosted and managed run the same admin UI. If you want full control of your stack and no recurring cost, and you have the capacity to run a Matrix server yourself, self-hosting is the right call. This repo plus the guides in the documentation index are everything you need.

etke.cc, the company that maintains Ketesa, matrix-docker-ansible-deploy, and the MASH playbook, also runs Matrix hosting as a managed service. It handles the operations for you (monitoring, updates, backups, TLS, support) and adds the etke.cc-exclusive features: live server monitoring, one-click server actions, in-app billing and support. Those need the etke.cc platform behind them, which is why they aren't part of the self-hosted build. Choose managed hosting if you'd rather not run the infrastructure yourself.

Prebuilt distributions

Ketesa publishes two static distributions:

• ketesa.tar.gz for root path deployments such as https://admin.example.com
• ketesa-subpath-admin.tar.gz for /admin subpath deployments such as https://example.com/admin

For custom prefixes other than /admin, build from source with yarn build --base=/your-prefix/ or pass the BASE_PATH Docker build argument.

Nightly and development builds

To get the latest unreleased changes:

• Use cloud.ketesa.app for the hosted development version
• Pull latest or latest-subpath-admin from GHCR or Docker Hub
• Download dist-root or dist-subpath-admin from the latest successful GitHub Actions run
• Build the main branch from source
