Frequently Asked Questions

? Is ResourceSpace hard to install?

It can be installed via Docker (simplified setup) or manual installation on Linux/Windows servers. Docker reduces complexity, but manual setup requires basic server admin skills (web server like Apache/Nginx, PHP, database).

? Is it a good alternative to Box?

Yes—ResourceSpace offers self-hosted privacy, open-source flexibility, and robust asset management features (metadata, RBAC) similar to Box, but without recurring subscription costs. Ideal for teams prioritizing data control.

? Is it completely free?

The core software is 100% open source and free to self-host. Optional paid services (support, enterprise features, hosted plans) are available but not required for basic or advanced use.
