JJex

Self-Host First

Install the CLI only after your team has a running Jex instance. The CLI needs an API URL to authenticate, list projects, and read or write secrets.

What must exist first

  • A running Jex API
  • A running Jex dashboard
  • A PostgreSQL database
  • A stable ENCRYPTION_KEY
  • At least one user account created on your own dashboard

For a local or small team deployment, start with the self-hosting guide.

Why this comes before installation

Jex does not operate a hosted cloud vault. The public website cannot create accounts for your team, and jex login should point to your own API:

jex login --api-url https://jex.yourcompany.com

After the instance is reachable, continue to Installation.
