Installation Options
RegScale supports multiple deployment methods to meet a wide range of customer needs. All deployment methods require container support (Docker, Podman, or Kubernetes). Choose the deployment method that best fits your environment.
Recommended Guides
- Kubernetes – Production-grade, scalable, and cloud-ready
- Docker Standalone – Easy local install for testing and evaluation
- Podman – Red Hat-compatible standalone deployment
- Post-Deployment Steps
- Local AI Server – What to do after the app is running
Deployment Comparison
| Option | Best For | Pros | Cons |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kubernetes | Production / Enterprise | Scalable, HA, cloud-native, portable | Complex setup, CLI knowledge required |
| Docker (Standalone) | Testing / PoC / SMBs | Fast setup, local install, no cloud needed | No HA, limited to local resources |
| Podman (Standalone) | RHEL-based Environments | Works without Docker, CLI focused, matches Linux-native environments | Requires setup; some images may not support ARM/Mac |
