Cloud deployment

You can run Semaphore in any cloud environment using the same supported installation methods:

• Virtual machines: install via package manager or binary, and run behind a reverse proxy such as NGINX. Use a managed database (e.g., Amazon RDS, Cloud SQL) for reliability.
• Containers: deploy with Docker or Docker Compose on a VM or container service. See persistent volumes and environment configuration in the Docker guide.
• Kubernetes: deploy with the official Helm chart. Use cloud storage classes and managed databases.

Essentials:

• Configure external URL and TLS at your load balancer or reverse proxy.
• Store sensitive values (DB credentials, OAuth secrets) in a secure secret manager or Kubernetes Secrets.
• Use managed databases for production and enable regular backups.
• Put runners close to your workloads to reduce latency and egress.
