Bring Your Own Hardware

Run BCTRL on your own infrastructure. One flat monthly fee, unlimited sessions, complete control.

No per-session costs. Pay a fixed monthly license fee and run as many browsers and computers as your hardware can handle.

Why Self-Host?

Predictable Costs

Fixed monthly fee regardless of usage. No surprises, easy budgeting. Ideal for high-volume workloads.

Data Sovereignty

Keep all data on your infrastructure. Meet compliance requirements for HIPAA, SOC 2, GDPR, and more.

Network Locality

Run browsers and computers close to your applications. Reduce latency, increase throughput.

Custom Environments

Install custom software, use your own proxies, configure firewalls exactly how you need them.

docker run -d \
  -e BCTRL_LICENSE_KEY=your-license-key \
  -p 8080:8080 \
  bctrl/browser-host:latest

docker run -d \
  -e BCTRL_LICENSE_KEY=your-license-key \
  -p 8081:8081 \
  bctrl/desktop-host:latest

Helm charts available for production Kubernetes deployments.

helm repo add bctrl https://charts.bctrl.ai
helm install bctrl-browser bctrl/browser-host \
  --set licenseKey=your-license-key \
  --set replicas=10

Install directly on Linux, Windows, or macOS machines.

# Linux/macOS
curl -fsSL https://get.bctrl.ai | sh
bctrl activate --license your-license-key

# Windows (PowerShell)
iwr -useb https://get.bctrl.ai/windows | iex
bctrl activate --license your-license-key

Hardware Requirements

Browser Host

Tier	Recommended Specs	Concurrent Browsers
Small	4 vCPU, 8GB RAM	~10 browsers
Medium	8 vCPU, 16GB RAM	~25 browsers
Large	16 vCPU, 32GB RAM	~50 browsers
XL	32 vCPU, 64GB RAM	~100 browsers

Desktop Host

Tier	Recommended Specs	Concurrent Desktops
Small	4 vCPU, 8GB RAM	2-4 desktops
Medium	8 vCPU, 32GB RAM	4-8 desktops
Large	16 vCPU, 64GB RAM	8-16 desktops
GPU	8 vCPU, 32GB RAM, GPU	4-8 GPU desktops

Actual capacity depends on workload complexity. Memory-intensive pages and applications require more resources per session.

Hybrid Architecture

Combine self-hosted SDK with cloud resources for maximum flexibility.

Baseline

Run predictable workloads on your own hardware with the SDK license.

Burst

Automatically overflow to BCTRL cloud when you need extra capacity.

Failover

Use cloud as backup if your infrastructure has issues.

import { BCTRL } from '@bctrl/sdk';

const bctrl = new BCTRL({
  // Primary: your own infrastructure
  primary: 'self-hosted',
  selfHostedEndpoint: 'http://your-bctrl-host:8080',

  // Fallback: BCTRL cloud
  fallback: 'cloud',
  cloudApiKey: process.env.BCTRL_API_KEY,

  // Overflow to cloud when local capacity is full
  overflowToCloud: true,
  maxLocalSessions: 50,
});

Break-even point: Self-hosted typically becomes cost-effective around 5,000+ browser-hours/month or when you have specific compliance/latency requirements.
