Local operation
Self-managed libravdbd runs on the machine or infrastructure where you install it.
Privacy
Local daemon privacy.
Self-managed LibraVDB Memory runs where you install it. No telemetry. No phone home. No hosted account or API dependency required.
No telemetry
The local daemon does not collect product telemetry, phone home, or require a hosted account.
No required APIs
LLM calls, rerankers, API embedders, and remote summarizers run only when an operator configures them.
Hosted is separate
Hosted LibraVDB Memory is a managed service with its own signup agreement and policy boundary.
Memory is sensitive infrastructure. In self-managed mode, the Libra team is not in the loop.
