Privacy and self-hosting

ReasonTrail is currently built as a self-hosted application for private project data. This page describes the current approach without making unsupported compliance claims.

Self-hosting

Docker deployment for the app and PostgreSQL database.
Local PostgreSQL storage with backups and JSON/Markdown exports.
Configurable AI provider; AI features are optional.
No external analytics by default.

Security approach

Local email/password authentication with server-side sessions.
Explicit review before important project changes are accepted.
Private network deployment is recommended until additional exposure hardening is added.
A future hosted edition is optional and not presented as available today.
