Setting up Paperclip on the customer's own server (Self-Hosted)
Self-hosted Paperclip provides complete control: data on agent tasks, actions, and results remains within the company's infrastructure. This is especially important for companies automating sensitive business processes.
Infrastructure requirements
Paperclip requires a Node.js environment, PostgreSQL for storing organizational structure data and task history, Redis for agent task queues, and Docker Compose for deploying the entire stack.
Minimum: 4 vCPU, 8 GB RAM, 50 GB SSD Recommended: 8 vCPU, 16 GB RAM, 100 GB SSD
What is configured during deployment?
LLM provider configuration (API keys, endpoints). PostgreSQL schema for storing the AI company's organizational structure. Redis for the async task queue. Nginx reverse proxy + SSL. Database backup strategy.
Optional: Integration with enterprise SSO (SAML/OIDC) to manage access to Paperclip.
Isolation for multi-company
When deploying to multiple tenants, separate PostgreSQL schemas or databases are used per organization. Multi-tenancy configuration is at the Paperclip level.
