OHB is open-source software intended to be self-hosted. If you deploy OHB on your own infrastructure, you are responsible for securing, configuring, and operating your server appropriately for your environment.
This includes, but is not limited to:
- Controlling network exposure (firewalls, NAT, reverse proxies, etc.)
- Enabling HTTPS/TLS if your instance is publicly accessible
- Keeping the operating system and packages up to date
- Managing logs and any IP or usage data your server may collect
- Respecting the terms of service and rate limits of upstream data providers (such as NOAA, SWPC, PSKReporter, KC2G, and others)
The OHB maintainers do not monitor, manage, or secure third-party deployments. If you make your instance publicly available, you assume responsibility for how it is configured and operated.
OHB is provided “as is,” without warranty of any kind. Use of the software is at your own risk.
