Canvus Server

The backend that synchronizes clients and stores canvases. Self-hosted on your infrastructure.

Container

Deploy Canvus Server with Podman or Docker. Download the compose file and follow the container installation guide for your platform (Linux, Windows, or macOS).

Download podman-compose.yml

This compose file pulls the :stable image channel from the MultiTaction registry. :stable currently resolves to 26.09.5.

To run pre-release builds instead, change the tag on all three images to :latest. :latest tracks the same builds as :dev, so it is a beta channel and is not recommended for production; it is not version-tagged, so check the digest you receive rather than expecting a release number. See Container image tags and channels.

Standalone installers

Native Canvus Server installers with a bundled PostgreSQL 18.6 cluster — no containers and no Node.js. The web client and authentication gateway run in-process, and Canvus installs as system services (systemd on Linux, Windows Services on Windows).

The installers bundle PostgreSQL 18.6 while the container images use PostgreSQL 17.11. Both are current on their respective release lines and neither is affected by CERTFR-2026-AVI-1024, but they are different major versions — worth knowing if you move database dumps between a container and a standalone deployment. See the release notes.

Installation guides: Linux · Windows
