Self-Hosted Plexicus

Plexicus can be deployed on any Kubernetes cluster using the official Helm chart, published as an OCI artifact to Google Artifact Registry. This section covers everything you need to install Plexicus on your own infrastructure — no support ticket required.

No phone-home guarantee

A self-hosted Plexicus deployment does not send telemetry, analytics, or feedback data outside your cluster. Features that depend on Plexicus' own commercial services (billing, marketplace listings, product analytics) are disabled in this mode. Only the integrations you configure (your GitHub, your AI provider, your SMTP server) talk to external systems — and only to the endpoints you specify.

Choose Your Path​

Pick the guide that matches what you are trying to do:

🧪 I want to evaluate Plexicus locally​

You want to spin up Plexicus on a small Ubuntu 24.04 server (cloud VM or on-premise) with k3s, click around, and see if it solves your problem. The Ubuntu + k3s recipe is what we validate end-to-end and ship as the recommended evaluator path; the macOS / kind / Docker Desktop variant is documented as a fallback appendix.

→ Local Evaluation (Self-Signed)

🏭 I'm deploying to a production Kubernetes cluster​

You have a real cluster (GKE, EKS, AKS, on-premises, etc.), a domain you own, and you want a TLS-enabled installation that your team will use day-to-day.

→ Self-Hosted Installation (Helm)

🔒 I'm deploying to an air-gapped or restricted environment​

Your cluster has no public internet access, or you need to mirror images to an internal registry, or you have strict egress controls.

→ Air-Gapped Installation

After Installation​

Once the platform is running and reachable, you'll want to configure provider integrations: SCM (GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Gitea), AI (OpenAI or Azure OpenAI), email (SMTP), and OAuth login providers.

→ Configuration Reference

note

Per-provider configuration guides are published incrementally as the chart stabilizes. The configuration index lists which guides are available today and what is coming next.
