What a business may do with it

Not identifiedNOASSERTION

GitHub could not match this licence to a standard one. It may be custom or source-available; read the repository’s LICENSE file before relying on it.

This describes the licence family GitHub identified, not legal advice about this project. The repository’s own LICENSE file is what binds you.

Run it yourself

Docker, quoted from Sturdy’s own README as written. We have not run it, and most projects expect you to set secrets or a database before production use.

docker run --interactive \
    --pull always \
    --publish 30080:80 \
    --volume "$HOME/.sturdydata:/var/data" \
    getsturdy/server
