What is dliy io?

dliy io is a low-code-first, full-power-second automation platform. Visually wire together hundreds of pre-built integrations, drop in custom JavaScript or Python where you need it, and orchestrate AI agents that reason over your data — all from a self-hosted instance you fully control.

Feature	Description
Visual Node Editor	Drag-and-drop flowchart editor powered by React Flow. Connect triggers, actions, logic, and AI nodes into any DAG.
52+ Built-in Integrations	Slack, GitHub, OpenAI, Anthropic, Stripe, Notion, Airtable, Postgres, MongoDB, AWS, and many more — out of the box.
Custom Code Nodes	Write JavaScript or Python inline. Sandboxed execution with isolated Docker containers.
Native AI Agents	Autonomous agents with tools, memory, and reasoning loops. RAG search, LLM calls, and chat engines built in.
Self-Hostable	One-command Docker deployment. Your data never leaves your infrastructure.
Enterprise-Ready	Workspaces, RBAC, audit logs, envelope-encrypted credentials.

Quick Start

Option 1: Docker (Recommended for production)

git clone https://github.com/death-legion/dliy-io.git
cd dliy-io
cp .env.example .env
# Edit .env — set NEXTAUTH_SECRET and ENCRYPTION_KEY
docker compose up -d

Open http://localhost:3000 — you're running dliy io.

Option 2: Local Development

git clone https://github.com/death-legion/dliy-io.git
cd dliy-io
bun install
cp .env.example .env
bun run db:push       # initialize the database
bun run dev           # start on http://localhost:3000

Option 3: Docker Dev Stack (just infra)

docker compose -f docker-compose.dev.yml up -d
# Starts Postgres, Redis, MailHog for local development
