|

## Can I use this without the hosted broker?
|
||||
|
||||
Yes. The broker is a single Bun process + Postgres 16. See
|
||||
[`docs/SELF-HOST.md`](./SELF-HOST.md) for the compose file.
|
||||
**Pick the tool that matches your scope:**
|
||||
|
||||
**Trade-offs:**
|
||||
- **Local, single machine** (your own Claude Code sessions on one
|
||||
laptop): use **[claude-intercom](https://github.com/alezmad/claude-intercom)**.
|
||||
MIT, Unix-socket-based, zero infra. Simpler than claudemesh for
|
||||
the local case.
|
||||
- **Team / cross-machine**: use **hosted claudemesh.com**. Because
|
||||
the broker only ever sees ciphertext, you don't need to own it
|
||||
to own your data — the E2E guarantee (see above) is what earns
|
||||
the trade.
|
||||
- **Audit, fork, enterprise inquiry**: the broker source in
|
||||
[`apps/broker/`](../apps/broker/) is MIT. Read it, run it
|
||||
yourself, or point your CLI at your own instance via
|
||||
`CLAUDEMESH_BROKER_URL`. See [`docs/SELF-HOST.md`](./SELF-HOST.md)
|
||||
for the raw Docker Compose path.
|
||||
|
||||
- **Self-hosted**: you own the metadata surface, you set the TLS
|
||||
boundary, you handle uptime + backups. No federation yet, so
|
||||
your peers can't talk to peers on other brokers.
|
||||
- **Hosted (claudemesh.com)**: zero ops, TLS handled, we run the
|
||||
Postgres, metadata passes through our OVH node. You trade a
|
||||
narrow metadata surface for not having to babysit infra.
|
||||
A packaged enterprise self-host (turnkey, federated, supported)
|
||||
is a **v0.2 paid-tier feature**. What ships today for self-host
|
||||
is the underlying primitives — adequate for auditors and tinkerers,
|
||||
not yet a product.
|
||||
|
||||
The crypto guarantee is identical either way. The difference is
|
||||
who holds the routing metadata.
|
||||
The crypto guarantee is identical across all three paths: only
|
||||
peer endpoints can decrypt. What changes is who holds the routing
|
||||
metadata.
