Cerbos
A self-hosted Security & Privacy app you can run on your own server.
Cerbos is an open, self-hosted security and privacy tool — you install it on your own hardware and keep full control of your data. Because it runs on infrastructure you control, your data stays with you and there is no subscription required to keep using it.
Its public repository on GitHub currently shows 4.6K stars, a useful signal of community interest. Repository activity was last recorded on Sep 9, 2026, and the project is classed as actively maintained in our snapshot.
Before you switch
Security tools deserve extra scrutiny — you are trusting them with sensitive data. Prefer projects with published audits, two-factor or SSO support, and clear documentation of their threat model. Keep them updated; an unpatched security tool is worse than none.
Like every project listed on SelfHosted, Cerbos is developed in the open — you can read the code, follow development, and even contribute. Check the system requirements and the project’s own documentation linked on this page before installing.
