1. Project Terms
Arkivra is open-source software released under the AGPL-3.0 license. You may use, copy, modify, and distribute Arkivra according to that license.
2. Open-Source Software
2.1 Source code
The Arkivra source code is available at github.com/Jasnan/Arkivra.
2.2 Independent deployments
Self-hosted deployments are operated by the people or organizations that run them. The Arkivra project does not control independent deployments and is not responsible for their data processing, availability, backups, security posture, or legal compliance.
2.3 No hosted service
Arkivra does not currently offer a managed hosted service, paid subscription, or hosted document storage through this website.
3. No Warranty
Warning
Arkivra is provided as-is, without warranties of any kind. Review the code and configuration before production use, and maintain your own backups.
4. Security Responsibilities
4.1 Production deployments
For production deployments, keep PostgreSQL private, restrict server access, use strong secrets, and back up ARKIVRA_ENCRYPTION_KEYS separately.
4.2 Encrypted files and extracted data
Uploaded files and stored extracted assets are encrypted at rest with ARKIVRA_ENCRYPTION_KEYS. Extracted retrieval data is stored separately from original files in PostgreSQL for ingestion, search, and chat. Deployment choices determine how that database is secured.
4.3 Encryption key loss
Warning
Losing the active encryption key means losing access to encrypted stored files.
