How to self-host a citation evidence workspace for your team with Cited

Run Cited on your own Docker host to keep AI citation evidence and notes in one workspace.

Who it is forA developer or IT owner at a marketing team that wants citation evidence kept on infrastructure it controls.

The problemMarketing teams need evidence of AI citations for stakeholders, and they want that record hosted and governed in-house.

The outcomeA self-hosted Cited instance with an owner account, a health check, and a documented path for exports and notifications.

What you need first

  • Docker Compose v2
  • Node.js 22 or newer
  • About 4 GB RAM recommended
  • A domain and brand you want to monitor
  • DataForSEO API credentials, only if you want live monitoring instead of mock mode

Steps

  1. Run npm ci
  2. Run npm run self-host:up
  3. Run npm run self-host:token, then open /setup to create the first owner
  4. Run npm run self-host:doctor to confirm the installation is healthy
  5. Read docs/security/ before inviting others, then stop safely with npm run self-host:down when not in use

Prompt for your agent

In the cited-cc/cited repo, self-host Cited with Docker Compose, run the doctor command, and report the health output and the default URL. Verify that the secrets directory .cited/secrets/ exists and that no secret values were printed to the output.

Caveat. The README says Cited is not claimed to be penetration-tested or certified for regulated compliance frameworks, so review the security guides before using it for sensitive data.
