A Linux VPS hosted in Montreal, Canada, with Dify installed: the open source platform for building applications on top of language models, with its workflows, its agents and its knowledge bases. Nine services, one machine, nothing to assemble.
Your Dify VPS is delivered from our Montreal datacenter with its nine services installed together: four tiers, Intel Xeon Gold 6132, DDR4 ECC and NVMe, from €7.90 a month.
Your knowledge bases, their vector index and your execution logs stay on Canadian soil, with no replication elsewhere. And an application that chains a vector search, a model call and a return to the user is better off close to Quebec, Ontario and the north-east of the United States.
Your Dify VPS runs on Intel Xeon Gold 6132 processors, error-correcting DDR4 ECC memory and 100% NVMe storage, in our Montreal data center. DDoS protection included and support 7 days a week on all four tiers, from €7.90 to €32.90 a month.
Your knowledge bases, their vector index and your execution logs are written in Montreal and do not leave. No replication to another country, no clause to negotiate: you answer in one sentence the client asking where their documents are indexed.
And your users gain too: Montreal puts the platform a few tens of milliseconds from Quebec, Ontario and the north-eastern United States. An application chaining a vector search, a model call and a return to the user pays that gap at every step.
Dify is not an application but nine services: API server, Celery worker, web interface, PostgreSQL, Redis, Weaviate vector database, execution sandbox, outbound proxy and nginx. Installed, wired together and started while your server is deployed. You land on the platform, with SSH access to see what runs underneath.
The official minimum is 2 cores and 4 GB, which is Pulse at €7.90. Let us be plain: nine services run continuously and 4 GB leaves no headroom. We recommend Edge, 6 vCore and 8 GB at €12.90 a month, five euros more for a stack that breathes. Pulse is still fine for exploring the platform.
Your VPS runs the platform: workflows, orchestration, indexing, interface. The inference happens at the provider whose API you plug in. The platform is light, the model is heavy, and the model is at the provider. So €12.90 a month carries applications that call first-rate models, without tying up a euro in hardware.
Build an assistant that answers from internal documentation, prototype before writing it in code, give a non-technical team the means to assemble workflows, deliver a client an application whose data stays on an identified server. Dify serves those cases, without your documents leaving your machine.
A Linux VPS with Dify installed: the open-source platform for building applications on top of language models, with its workflows, its agents and its knowledge bases. Nine services, one machine, nothing to assemble.
An application built with Dify rests on knowledge bases, which means on your documents: internal procedures, catalogue, support history. On your VPS, those documents and the vectors drawn from them are written to your disk, in a Weaviate database that belongs to you, rather than handed to a third party to be indexed.
Dify is an open-source platform: it installs at your place, with its PostgreSQL database, its Redis and its code execution sandbox. The model is called by API at the provider you chose. So you keep the platform and your data on one side, and you pay for inference by usage on the other.
Workflows: Chain the steps of an application: input, document retrieval, model call, output.
Agents: Build agents that decide which steps to take rather than following a fixed path.
Knowledge bases: Pour your documents into Dify so your applications answer from your own material.
A fleet, not an app: API, worker, interface, PostgreSQL, Redis, Weaviate, sandbox, proxy and nginx: all set up for you.
A platform to build applications on top of language models, and the stack of services that runs it.
Workflow editor: An application is drawn step by step, from the question received to the answer returned.
Agents: For the cases where the sequence cannot be decided in advance, the agent picks its own steps.
Knowledge bases: Your documents become the material of your applications, indexed by the platform.
Weaviate vector database: The vector index of your knowledge bases runs on the VPS, in Weaviate by default.
Celery worker: Asynchronous processing and embedding computation go to the background, without blocking the interface.
Execution sandbox: The code run by your workflows executes in a dedicated sandbox, separate from the rest of the stack.
Outbound proxy and nginx: Outbound calls go through a dedicated proxy, and nginx serves the platform at the front.
Root access: Dify is added to your VPS, it does not replace it. Full SSH to watch the stack and install whatever you want alongside.
Our Dify VPS are hosted in Montreal, Canada. Your knowledge bases, their vector index and your execution logs stay on Canadian soil, with no replication to another country.
