BorgWarehouse VPS hosting.

BorgWarehouse VPS hosting at ZAP-Hosting runs the open-source BorgWarehouse web UI for your central BorgBackup repository server on your own KVM VPS, deployed in one click via Coolify. You create repositories, assign SSH keys and quotas, and monitor every client's Backups from the browser. Your machines keep using borg or borgmatic over SSH – BorgWarehouse is the server side, not a client.

• Repository server with a web UI, not a Backup client
• Works with the borg CLI and borgmatic on your machines

BorgWarehouse itself is open source and free to use. You only pay for the VPS it runs on, and the plan you pick is mainly a question of disk space for your repositories. Current prices for every plan load live in the pricing section on this page.

• No license fee for BorgWarehouse
• You pay for the VPS plan and can cancel anytime

Order a VPS, open the Apps tab in the panel and pick BorgWarehouse from the Coolify catalog. Coolify pulls the container, sets up persistent storage and starts the web UI. Then open the setup page, enter your setup secret, create the admin account and add your first repository. Read the One-Click Apps guide

• One-click deploy from the Apps tab
• Setup secret and admin account on first launch

The web UI itself is lightweight, so size by storage first and RAM second. Borg deduplicates and compresses, so estimate the deduplicated size of all clients, add headroom for your retention policy (how many daily, weekly and monthly archives you keep) and pick a plan with that disk space. Per-repository quotas keep one client from filling the whole disk.

• Storage = deduplicated data + retention headroom
• Start small and move to a bigger plan as repos grow

Yes. Create one repository per machine, each with its own SSH public key and quota. Clients connect over SSH with the command BorgWarehouse generates for them, using the host and SSH port shown in the dashboard. Allow that port in your VPS firewall. Each repository stays isolated from the others. Set up your firewall

• One repository and one SSH key per client
• Connection details right in the dashboard

Yes, when you initialize your repositories with Borg encryption: the client encrypts data before it leaves the machine, so the VPS only stores ciphertext. Keep a copy of your repo key and passphrase somewhere safe. For extra protection, enable append-only mode so a compromised client can add new archives but can't delete or overwrite older ones.

• Client-side encryption before upload
• Append-only mode per repository

Choose from ZAP-Hosting locations in Europe and America – ideally a different site from the data you protect, which gives you the offsite copy the 3-2-1 Backup rule calls for. Pick the location closest to your machines for fast uploads and restores; many North American setups start with Ashburn, Dallas or Los Angeles.

• Offsite by design: Backups away from the source
• Every location is low-latency for nearby machines

Yes. When your repositories outgrow the disk, switch to a larger plan from the panel instead of rebuilding your BorgWarehouse setup. And you can cancel anytime; the cancellation takes effect at the end of your current term. How cancellation works

• Plan changes directly in the panel
• Cancel anytime, effective at the end of the term
