Rakazo is an open-source, self-hosted AI teammate (a Grok Bot alternative): your bots get memory, their own computer, and recurring tasks — with all data staying on your server. DeployButler provides battle-tested install guides and a done-for-you deployment service. We ran the whole thing end-to-end on a real server first, so every step here is verified, traps included.
Read the install guide See deployment pricingGrok Bot requires X Premium ($30/mo and up) or a Cursor subscription. Self-hosting costs you a VPS (about €5–13/mo) plus the Claude/ChatGPT subscription you already have.
Conversations, memory, and files live on your server, and credentials stay in your own accounts. Nobody — including us — ever handles your passwords or API keys.
Web, desktop, iOS, and Android clients are provided by the project. Point the desktop app at your server URL and you are connected.
Prices and specs from public sources, October 2026 — check official pages before subscribing.
Empty server to public HTTPS: Docker, the official installer, reverse proxy, and certificates — timed during our own run.
The official images run fine on ARM servers, including the sandboxed desktop with a browser. No need to overpay for x86.
We wiped the database and restored from backup: account, bot memory, and sandbox files all came back. Upgrades have an escape hatch.
The email-verification dead end, the model step only you can do, and the signup window you must close immediately — see the guide's checklist.
