Installing Sourcegraph
You can opt to use Sourcegraph as a self-hosted deployment or managed instance.
Managed instances
The Sourcegraph team can host and manage a Sourcegraph instance for you. This makes them a simple choice for customers that want to utilize Sourcegraph but do not wish to manage its deployment and maintenance. You can find more details in its installation page.
Self-hosted
| Deployment Type | Suggested for | Setup time | Multi-machine? | Auto healing? | Monitoring? |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Single-container server | Local testing | 60 seconds | No | No | No |
| Docker Compose | Small & medium production deployments | 5 minutes | Not Supported | No | Yes |
| Kubernetes | Medium & large highly-available cluster deployments | 30 minutes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
- If you’re just starting out, we recommend running Sourcegraph locally. It takes only a few minutes and lets you try out all of the features.
- If you need scalability and high-availability beyond what a single-node Docker Compose can offer, use the Kubernetes cluster deployment option, instead.
