README

InstaCloud OSS

The open-source InstaCloud runtime: one daemon over your Docker that answers the same API the hosted platform answers. Serverless on a single machine, branches that fork the disk, and the same `insta` CLI, MCP server and agent skills on both sides.

project = a Postgres database + an S3 bucket + your app containers
branch  = a disposable, fully isolated clone of all three

Install on a VPS

Ubuntu 22.04+ or Debian 12+, 2 vCPU, 2 GiB RAM, 15 GiB free disk, and the ports 80, 443, 8080, 8081, 5432, 6379 and 27017 free. The installer checks all of that before it changes anything: a busy port names the key that moves it, and a first install on a box under the memory or disk minimum stops there rather than failing later under load. As root:

curl -fsSL https://get.instacloud.com | sh

The daemon image is not published yet, so until the first release the one-liner has nothing to pull. A tag is not enough on its own: the installer asks GitHub for the latest RELEASE, so a `vX.Y.Z` tag publishes the image but the one-liner keeps finding nothing until a Release is published for that tag too. Build it on the box and point the installer at it:

curl -fsSL https://get.docker.com | sudo sh          # only when the box has no Docker yet
git clone https://github.com/InsForge/instacloud-oss.git && cd instacloud-oss
sudo docker build -t instacloud:dev .
sudo INSTA_OSS_IMAGE=instacloud:dev sh install.sh

The script installs Docker if it is missing, prepares a reflink-capable data directory, and starts three containers: the daemon, the TLS edge, and the object store. It prints where to go:
