Canto
Self-hosting
Running the Canto stack yourself.
Canto is early access, and the hosted API isn't public yet -- but the
control plane it's built on is a real, self-contained stack:
controld, the leader-elected control plane that
owns desktop lifecycle, host registry, and placement, and hostd, the
per-host agent it drives. Both live in this monorepo (canto/controld,
canto/hostd) with their own local-dev setup instructions. If you want to
run the stack yourself rather than wait for hosted access, start with
canto/controld/README.md's "Local dev" section for the Postgres +
config-file walkthrough, and treat it as the source of truth over anything
summarized here -- these docs describe the hosted API's contract, not a
self-hosting guide.
