Overview

vaultsuite.dev is a managed hosting platform for CryptPad — the open-source, end-to-end encrypted collaboration suite. We give you your own dedicated CryptPad instance running in an isolated container, so you get the privacy of self-hosting without the operations burden.

What is CryptPad?

CryptPad is a free, open-source collaboration platform that includes:

  • Rich text editor — collaborative documents with real-time editing
  • Spreadsheets — collaborative spreadsheets and charts
  • Code editor — collaborative code editing with syntax highlighting
  • Kanban boards — project management with drag-and-drop cards
  • Whiteboards — collaborative drawing and diagramming
  • Forms — create surveys and polls
  • File drive — organize all your documents in folders

Everything is end-to-end encrypted. Your encryption keys never leave your browser — we physically cannot read your documents, even if compelled by law.

Who is VaultSuite for?

  • Privacy-conscious teams who want the convenience of SaaS without surrendering their data to Big Tech.
  • Organizations subject to GDPR or other data-residency requirements. All data stays in the EU.
  • Small businesses and nonprofits who need secure collaboration but can't afford a dedicated sysadmin.
  • Individuals who want a private, ad-free, tracking-free workspace for their documents.

How is this different from cryptpad.fr?

cryptpad.fr is the official hosted instance run by the CryptPad team. It's excellent — but it's a shared instance where your data lives alongside thousands of other users.

VaultSuite gives you a dedicated instance running in its own isolated container on Fly.io. You get:

  • Your own resources (CPU, RAM, storage) — no noisy neighbors
  • Your own address (your-name.vaultsuite.dev)
  • Automated daily backups (14-day retention)
  • Dedicated performance — your instance serves only you

How is this different from self-hosting?

You can absolutely self-host CryptPad yourself — it's open-source under AGPL. But self-hosting means:

  • Setting up and maintaining a server
  • Handling TLS certificates, DNS, firewalls
  • Running backups and testing restores
  • Applying security updates when CryptPad releases them
  • Monitoring uptime and responding to incidents

VaultSuite handles all of that for you. You focus on your work; we handle the infrastructure. Our scale-to-zero architecture also means you pay only for what you use — often cheaper than running your own server.

Where is my data?

Your documents and your CryptPad instance are stored in the European Union (Amsterdam, Netherlands) — Fly.io's EU region for compute and storage — and never leave it. We are finalizing our formal GDPR compliance program; the only data processed by non-EU subprocessors is operational metadata (your email, payments), covered by EU Standard Contractual Clauses. See our subprocessor list.

See our Security page for details on encryption, backups, and incident response.
