Kopia server hosting

Host your own Kopia repository server.

Kopia takes fast, incremental snapshots of your laptops, servers and NAS shares and stores only what changed – encrypted, deduplicated and compressed. Restoring one file from last Tuesday or a whole folder from last month takes a few clicks in KopiaUI. Hosted on your own VPS, the Kopia repository server becomes the always-on offsite target every machine backs up to, deployed in one click from One-Click Apps via Coolify.

Unlike a managed Backup cloud or a container template, you get the whole server with root access. Create one Kopia user per client so every machine only sees its own snapshots, keep the repository on the VPS disk or put S3, B2 or SFTP storage behind it, and tune maintenance runs over SSH. The repository password, server users and firewall rules stay entirely in your hands.

Kopia features

What your Kopia server does for you.

Per-client users, folder policies and deduplicated uploads – everything a central repository server needs, running on your own VPS.

Kopia server in one click

Your repository server runs right after checkout – Coolify handles the container setup.

Every machine, one repository

Laptops, servers and NAS shares all send their data to one central Kopia server.

Separate users per client

Each device signs in with its own account and only sees its own data.

Verified repository health

Know your data is restorable – verify and maintenance runs check the whole repository.

Only changes get uploaded

Nightly runs finish fast because Kopia detects and sends only changed files.

Deduplication that saves space

Identical data across machines is stored once, so your disk lasts much longer.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about Kopia

Answers to the most important questions before you start.

Kopia VPS hosting runs the open-source Kopia repository server on your own VPS, deployed in one click via Coolify from One-Click Apps. You choose from VPS plans, get full root access and one central, encrypted target for all your machines. Compared with Restic or Borg, Kopia adds a built-in repository server, per-client users and the KopiaUI desktop app.

  • Open-source Kopia on your own VPS
  • One-click deploy via Coolify
  • Plans scaled by RAM, CPU and disk

Order a VPS, open One-Click Apps in your dashboard and deploy Kopia via Coolify – the container and persistent storage are set up for you. Then create the repository, add a user for each client and connect KopiaUI or the CLI using the server address and certificate fingerprint. No manual systemd units or package installs needed. Learn more in the Help Center

  • Order a VPS and open One-Click Apps
  • Deploy Kopia via Coolify
  • Add users and connect your clients

Yes – Kopia is open source and free to use. What you pay for is the VPS it runs on: dedicated RAM, CPU and disk for your repository, an always-on server outside your home, root access and DDoS protection. Current prices for every plan are shown live in the plans section.

  • Kopia software: free and open source
  • VPS: resources, uptime and protection

Start with roughly the size of the data you protect, plus room for snapshot history. Deduplication and compression often keep the repository well below the raw size, especially when several machines hold similar files. Pick a plan that fits today and upgrade the disk as history grows – or put S3, B2 or SFTP storage behind your Kopia server.

  • Size the disk to your protected data
  • Dedup shrinks similar files across clients
  • Upgrade storage as history grows

Yes. Kopia's repository server is built for exactly that: create one user per machine in the form user@hostname, and each client connects with its own password. By default every user only sees its own snapshots, while deduplication still works across the whole repository.

  • One login per laptop, server or NAS
  • Snapshots separated per user
  • Shared deduplication saves space

Yes. Kopia encrypts every snapshot with AES-256-GCM by default before it lands in the repository, so the files on disk are unreadable without your repository password. Clients reach the server over TLS, and with root access you alone control server users, the password and the firewall rules on your VPS. Firewall guide in the Help Center

  • AES-256-GCM encryption by default
  • TLS between clients and server
  • Users and firewall under your control

You can pick from our VPS locations in Europe and America. Choose the one closest to the machines you back up for fast uploads, or one in another region for a truly separate offsite copy. Many North American homelabs start with Ashburn, Dallas or Los Angeles, and FFM/Eygelshoven is available too.

  • Locations in Europe and America
  • Pick near your machines or in another region

Yes. When your repository outgrows its plan, you can move to a larger VPS with more storage, RAM and CPU. Terms run from 3 to 365 days, and you can cancel anytime – the cancellation takes effect at the end of the current term.

  • Upgrade as your repository grows
  • Cancel anytime, effective at term end

Why does my Kopia client fail to connect to the server?
Usually the certificate fingerprint or the server user doesn't match. Compare the fingerprint in the server log with the one your client uses, and check that the user exists as user@hostname. I can walk you through both checks.
How do I list the server users?
Run kopia server user list on the VPS over SSH. It shows every user@hostname account; add missing ones with kopia server user add, then refresh the server so it picks up the change.
