Frequently Asked Questions

? Is Kubek hard to install?

Kubek can be installed via Docker Compose for a quick, beginner-friendly setup (with step-by-step docs). Kubernetes deployments are available for scalable fleets but require more expertise. Most users find the Docker path straightforward with minimal configuration.

? Is Kubek a good alternative to Nitrado?

Yes—unlike Nitrado’s SaaS model, Kubek lets you self-host on your own hardware, giving full control over data and server resources. It offers similar core features (one-click deployments, monitoring) but without recurring costs, though you’ll manage your own infrastructure.

? Is it completely free?

Absolutely! Kubek is licensed under MIT, so it’s 100% free to use, modify, and distribute. There are no premium tiers or hidden fees—all features are accessible to every user.
