Deployment choices

Run the headend where it makes sense.

Start on a single machine, place a compact headend on an ARM64 Raspberry Pi, or use the production-shaped PostgreSQL and Redis topology.

Simple

Self-hosted

SQLite

Hub and dashboard with no external database. A good fit for evaluation, homelabs, and small fleets.

  • Docker Compose
  • Local data ownership
  • Built-in backup tooling

Scale

Cloud topology

Postgres

Multiple Hub replicas, a worker, Redis coordination, PostgreSQL durability, and TLS routing.

  • No WebSocket stickiness
  • Dedicated background jobs
  • Production readiness probes
