What is Bellamy Book? (the project)​

Bellamy Book (also BellamyBook) is a self-hosted social network platform. You deploy one instance on your own servers — that instance is your community (not multi-tenant SaaS).

  • Tagline: Your own self-hosted social network, live in about 10 minutes with Docker.
  • Why it exists: Own your members’ data, domain, branding, feed rules, and moderation — no vendor can suspend your network.
  • Audience: Organizations, communities, internal company networks, privacy-sensitive groups.
