Cloud or local installation
Restora works both ways — in the cloud, ready instantly, or installed on your own server, on your own network.
Compare both optionsKeep using the cloud
No installation. Your data is hosted and backed up for you — you're up and running as soon as you log in.
- Updates applied automatically
- Backups managed for you, no maintenance
- Reachable from any connected device

Install on your own server
Restora runs entirely on your own hardware, reachable only on your location's network. You download ready-to-run images — never the source code.
Download the install packPrerequisite: Docker installed on the server (Docker Desktop or Docker Engine + Compose).
- 1
Download the pack
docker-compose.local.yml, .env.local.example and the install script, in a .zip archive.
- 2
Run the guided installer
./install-local.sh — checks Docker, asks for your location's name and admin account, then starts everything.
- 3
Open the app
From any device on the network, at your server's address — no internet needed to work.
$ ./install-local.sh

Frequently asked questions
Where is my data hosted?
In the cloud, on dedicated infrastructure with automatic backups. With a local install, your data stays entirely on your own server — it never leaves your premises.
Is my data backed up?
In the cloud, yes, automatically, no action needed. Locally, a backup script is included (infrastructure/scripts/backup.sh) — schedule it however fits your setup.
Can I manage several locations?
Yes — Restora is multi-location from day one. You can add restaurants and branches from the admin area, within your plan's limits.
What does it cost after the trial?
The 7-day trial gives access to every core feature, no card required. After that, a subscription is needed to keep going — contact us for the plan that fits your location.
I already use the cloud — can I move to a local install?
Cloud and local are two ways of running Restora, not two different products. Contact us and we'll help you move your data.
What support is available if something goes wrong?
The Restora team is available for any technical question, whether you're on the cloud or a local install.
