About Hosting Octop
This template runs the official ghcr.io/tencentcloud/octop:latest image with a persistent volume at /data/.octop for the built-in SQLite database, so users, agents and workspaces survive redeploys. Sign in as admin with the generated password: open the service's Variables tab and copy OCTOP_DEFAULT_PASSWORD. Then add your LLM provider key in the dashboard.
Common Use Cases
- Run a private AI assistant for a family or small team
- Connect agents to chat apps and cron-style automation
- Keep documents and knowledge bases on your own server
Dependencies for Octop Hosting
- One service with a volume; nothing else
