Overview

What is AstrBot?

AstrBot is an all-in-one agentic chatbot platform, open-source, that integrates with major instant messaging applications. It provides the conversational AI infrastructure needed to build production-ready applications directly within your messaging flows.

It offers multimodal AI conversations, agent and MCP capabilities, a knowledge base, customizable personas with automatic context compression, a sandbox for secure code execution, as well as a Web UI and over 1,000 community plugins.

On the AI side, AstrBot supports commercial providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini, DeepSeek…) as well as self-hosted models (Ollama, LM Studio), and connects to numerous platforms: Telegram, Slack, Discord, and many others. It is designed for individuals, developers, and teams seeking AI companions, customer service, automation assistants, or enterprise knowledge bases.

Host AstrBot at DINAO

No managed container for AstrBot: this application is installed on a VPS hosted in France (1 vCPU / 1 Go / 2 Go minimum).

AstrBot needs a level of access to the machine that the managed container, shared between several customers, does not give. Two VPS hosted in France: DINAO installs and manages it for you, or you administer it yourself.

Technical reason: bind mount of a host path (named volumes only in the managed offer).

Option 2 The simplest

  • Stated, capped resources (2 vCPU, 2 GB, 20 GB): beyond that, a larger size is offered

🧠

This application uses AI

The container hosts the application, not the AI engine (which requires dedicated GPUs) : inference is handled externally, with your own provider key. Prioritize a sovereign engine — Mistral AI, NumSpot, Scaleway, or OVHcloud AI Endpoints (France, GDPR) ; an international provider (OpenAI, Anthropic…) only if a specific capability requires it. Inference subscriptions are not included in hosting.

Frequently asked questions

You might be wondering…

About AstrBot 6 questions

What is AstrBot used for?

It is an all-in-one agentic AI chatbot platform that connects to your messaging apps (Telegram, Discord, Slack…) to build personal assistants, customer service, automations, or enterprise knowledge bases.

Are my conversations used to train models?

In local mode (Ollama, LM Studio), your exchanges remain on your instance and are not shared. In external API mode, your messages pass through the chosen provider — see the sovereignty note.

Where is the data hosted?

On DINAO infrastructure in France, in one of the available datacenters. In local mode, your data does not leave the country.

Do I need technical skills?

Minimal to get started: you install and maintain the application on your VPS. Configuration of messaging apps, models, and plugins is done via the Web UI.

Can I use my own models?

Yes. You can choose locally hosted open-weight models (Ollama, LM Studio) or external APIs with your own key, and you can combine both.

Is this application tested before it is offered?

This application has not yet passed our automatic deployment test. It can still be installed, but we invite you to contact us before ordering: we will then test it as a priority. The deployment template used was last updated on 3 July 2026. Each new version released by the publisher triggers this test again: the date above therefore follows the version actually offered.
