# Self-Hosting

> Run Conductor OSS entirely on your own machine with repo-local config, worktrees, and tmux-based task execution.

Conductor is designed for local-first execution. There is no cloud control plane requirement and no database dependency by default.

## What local-first means here

* config in flat files
* tasks in markdown
* work isolated in git worktrees
* sessions run under tmux
* secrets stay in your own environment

## Operational restart pattern

If the dashboard looks stale after config or project changes, restart it with the workspace you actually want to serve.

```bash theme={null}
CO_CONFIG_PATH=/path/to/workspace/conductor.yaml \
co start --workspace /path/to/workspace --port 4747
```

## Why teams choose this model

This setup is a good fit when you want orchestration without handing task state, secrets, or code-adjacent metadata to a hosted SaaS product.
