Deploy Broch
Broch runs in your own cloud account, as a single VM appliance that issues and renews its own wildcard certificate. Architecture describes how it fits together. First boot takes 3–10 minutes.

Every path needs a DNS zone you control, an app in your identity provider, a master key you generate, and an email address for Let’s Encrypt. Each guide lists exactly what to have ready.
Broch charges nothing to deploy; your cloud provider bills the VM and database. Setup offers a free trial of Broch Share, which is then priced per active user (pricing).
