# Self-hosting the Members Portal

We usually recommend you customize your Members Portal using the code available in our built-in files, custom pages or by replacing and adding components.

You can also choose to host the Members Portal through your own infrastructure. Self-hosting is a suitable option if you want to:

- **Completely rewrite all pages of the Members Portal and apply radically different styles and layouts.**
- **Use all or some of the portal features within your own marketing site or other platform features.**

## How the Members Portal is Built

The Members Portal is built using [ReactJS](https://reactjs.org/) on top of [NextJS](https://nextjs.org/). It uses [MobX](https://mobx.js.org/README.html) as state management.

## What You Need to Self-host

### Node & Yarn

You need to install [Node](https://nodejs.org/en/) (greater than 10.19.0) and [Yarn](https://classic.yarnpkg.com/en/).

### Your Members Portal Default Subdomain

You'll also need your Members Portal default domain. You can find this domain via [Settings > Website](https://dashboard.nexudus.com/settings/2/0/0) on the Admin Panel.

In the example above, **nexudustudio** is the default subdomain. Make sure you keep this subdomain handy for the configuration.

### Request Access to the Source Code

You can download the most recent version of the portal using GIT.

You'll need to accept the terms of the source code license available below and then reach out to [source@nexudus.com](http://mailto:source@nexudus.com) for us to provide access to the repository.

[LICENSE (3).txt](https://cdn.document360.io/4f9a66c7-3dbb-4052-97d8-5439302e1512/Images/Documentation/LICENSE%20(3).txt)

## Editing the Configuration File

Once you have downloaded the source code, you need to edit the configuration file to make sure the code uses your Nexudus account.

Replace **env/config.js** with the snippet below, making sure you replace **demo** with your portal's default subdomain.

```
module.exports = {
 apiRoot: 'https://demo.spaces.nexudus.com',
 platformRoot:'https://spaces.nexudus.com',
};
```

Next, install all dependencies running yarn. This can take some time.

```
yarn
```

You should also install i18next-parser to produce the translation files during the build process.

```
yarn global add i18next-parser
```

Once yarn installed all packages, you can run the project:

```
yarn run dev
```

If you want to create a release version to publish in the **.next** folder, run:

```
yarn run build
```
