Free, open-source, self-hosted AI workspace for your whole team: governed multi-LLM chat with OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, and open models. Bring your own API keys. Live in about 5 minutes.
Overview
Grengin gives your whole company a branded AI chat workspace with enterprise-grade governance, without enterprise pricing or vendor lock-in. Built for startups and small to mid-sized teams, it runs entirely in your own AWS account, and Grengin is never in the data path: traffic flows directly between your infrastructure and the model providers you choose. IT gets control, executives get insights, and every employee gets AI that is safe to use at work.
One governance layer covers every model your team uses. Connect OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, and 7+ open-source models, then manage them through a single admin dashboard with SSO, user management, and policies per department or project. Built-in PII detection and full audit trails keep sensitive data visible and reviewable, while real-time cost tracking and budget controls keep spend predictable. Grengin also connects to your existing stack through MCP, Jira, Confluence, and Google Drive.
The software is free and open source (github.com/grengin-oss/grengin). You pay only your standard EC2 infrastructure costs, and you bring your own API keys, so model usage is billed directly by your providers with no markup, no per-seat fees, and no minimums. Launch this AMI, connect your keys, and invite your team: most deployments are live in about 5 minutes with no DevOps expertise required.

64-bit (x86) Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
An AMI is a virtual image that provides the information required to launch an instance. Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) instances are virtual servers on which you can run your applications and workloads, offering varying combinations of CPU, memory, storage, and networking resources. You can launch as many instances from as many different AMIs as you need.
Version release notes
Initial AWS Marketplace release of Grengin (v0.3.1). This image provides a ready-to-run, self-hosted Grengin deployment that launches in about five minutes on your own AWS account. You bring your own model-provider API keys, and your data and traffic stay within your environment.
Included in this version:
- Grengin platform v0.3.0, pre-installed and configured on CentOS
- Multi-LLM access to OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini and open-source models through one unified governance layer
- Admin dashboard with user management, SSO, and department/project-level policies
- PII detection and full audit trails
- Real-time cost tracking and budget controls per user, department, and project Integrations: any MCP server, plus Jira, Confluence, and Google Drive
Getting started: After launch, open the instance to complete first-run setup, add your provider API keys, and invite your team. See [https://grengin.com/community ] for configuration and SSO setup. Bring-your-own API keys are required to connect model providers. Future versions will document changes in these notes.

Usage instructions
Grengin Usage Instructions
1. Launch the instance
Use at least 2 GB RAM and a 10 GB disk: t3.small (x86_64) or larger. In the security group, allow inbound:
- TCP 80 (HTTP) required; serves the setup wizard and then the app.
- TCP 443 (HTTPS) required only if you enable SSL.
- TCP 22 (SSH) for administration (login user: ec2-user). Tip: restrict ports 80 and 22 to your admin IP during setup. The wizard is unauthenticated until you finish it.
2. Run the setup wizard
On first boot the instance auto-starts a one-time web installer. Wait about a minute, then browse to: http://<instance-public-ip>/ The wizard walks through:
- System check: verifies OS, free ports, RAM and disk.
- Database: install a local PostgreSQL (default) or connect to an existing one (host, port, user, password, database).
- Domain (optional): enter a domain and optionally enable HTTPS (free Let's Encrypt certificate; needs a contact email and the domain's DNS A record already pointing at this instance). On EC2 you can instead claim a free *.grengin.com subdomain offered in the wizard. Skip to run on the bare IP.
- Sign-in / SSO (optional): add Google and/or Microsoft Entra (Azure AD) OAuth credentials, set allowed email domains and just-in-time user provisioning. If you skip this, Grengin's hosted SSO proxy is enabled so you can still sign in.
- AI providers (optional): paste API keys for OpenAI, Anthropic, Mistral and/or Gemini, and tune RAG (retrieval) options. These can be added later.
- Install: click Install. The installer generates unique secrets, writes configuration, installs the API and web app, configures nginx, and creates and starts the application service. When it finishes, the wizard shows your access URL.
3. First use
- App URL: your domain (https if SSL enabled) or http://<instance-ip>/. The API is served under /api.
- There is no default password. The first account you register through the web UI becomes your initial user. JWT and encryption secrets are generated uniquely per instance. Nothing sensitive is baked into the image.
4. Administering the instance
SSH in as ec2-user, then use sudo.
- Service: sudo systemctl status grengin / sudo systemctl restart grengin
- App logs: sudo journalctl -u grengin -f
- Installer logs: sudo journalctl -u grengin-installer Key locations:
- Configuration / environment: /etc/grengin/.env
- API binary: /opt/grengin/grengin-api
- Web app files: /var/www/grengin
- Nginx site: /etc/nginx/conf.d/grengin.conf To change the domain, SSL, AI keys or other settings later, edit /etc/grengin/.env (or use the helper scripts in /opt/grengin/scripts) and run sudo systemctl restart grengin.
5. Security notes
- Finish the wizard promptly. Until you do, port 80 serves an unauthenticated installer. Keep the security group locked to your IP during setup.
- The image enforces IMDSv2 and disables root and password SSH login.
- Run behind HTTPS in production (enable SSL in step 3).
