- Cost
- $0 / forever (Open Source)
- License
- MIT
- Hosting Model
- Self-host (your server)
- Platforms
- webself-hosteddocker to self-host
- Installation
- Clone the repository and run `docker compose up`
- Operational Setup
- Docker is mandatory for the documented quick start, the first image build is slow, and every cloud AI provider needs a user-supplied API key; fully local AI additionally requires a working Ollama installation and suitable model.
- Where Your Data Lives
- Applications, resumes, tasks, documents, AI results, and encrypted provider keys live in a persistent SQLite database file mounted at `/data/dev.db`; imported and generated document data remains on the self-host unless a cloud model provider receives prompts.
- The Catch / Trade-off
- JobSync requires a local model or API configuration and lacks Teal's mature browser extension, automatic job capture, managed AI coaching, and broad job-board workflow polish.
