Deployments

Published October 4, 2026Updated October 11, 2026

These pages are for the operator who deploys Publira. They describe what an install runs and what it depends on; how those parts are hosted — a Compose file, a Kubernetes cluster, a set of systemd units — is your choice.

In this section

• Overview: the processes an install runs, the services they depend on, and the processes you can add.
• Installing: bringing an empty install into service, from the services it depends on to the first sign-in to the tenant console.
• Docker Compose: running a whole install on one host with the Compose file in the repository.
• Reverse proxy: putting a proxy with TLS in front of an install, and what to change on it when a tenant is added.
• Upgrading: bringing a running install to a new release, and what to do when a migration fails.
• Backup and restore: what an install keeps, backing it up, and bringing it back on empty services.
• Releases: what a 0.x version number tells you, what a minor and a patch release may change, and which releases receive fixes.
