Pi ecosystem launches SoloHost self-hosting framework
Pi Core Team launched SoloHost in Pi Desktop, letting users install apps locally and run local AI agents like Hermes and OpenClaw with data staying on their PC.
You mean *SoloHost* - yes, it's new inside Pi ecosystem. It is *NOT* inside the mobile Pi mining app on your phone. It's inside *Pi Desktop* on your computer — the same place you run Pi Node. Here is what it is in simple terms: *SoloHost is a self-hosting framework. It turns your own computer into a small server.* Launched by Pi Core Team on *Pi2Day - June 28, 2026*. 36b1 Normal apps run on Google or Amazon cloud. SoloHost apps run *directly on your own computer*, so your data stays with you. 7ade *What it does:* 1. *Lets developers list apps that you install locally.* You find them inside Pi Desktop, click install, and it runs on your PC — no Docker, no server setup. 2. *Privacy-focused local AI.* Example: *Hermes* — an open-source AI agent that runs entirely on your computer. Your chats and files never go to a cloud server. 3. *You can control it from your phone.* Once it's running on your PC, you can access it via the SoloHost app inside Pi Browser on mobile. 4. *Future plan — get paid in Pi.* Pi has 420,000+ Node operators. The plan is to let those computers do heavy AI work for companies and get paid in Pi. cd847ade Later they added more apps like *OpenClaw* — a local AI assistant that can even connect to ChatGPT/Claude but keeps memory on your PC, and *Atlassian MCP* for developers to connect Jira to AI tools. e9f3 So think of it like this: - *App Studio* = you build apps that live inside Pi Browser - *SoloHost* = you build apps that live on your own computer, Pi Desktop helps you run them Do you have Pi Node running on a laptop/PC? That is where you will see SoloHost.
