On-Prem Console

The on-premises deployment of the Safetybits Console is designed for organizations that prefer or require hosting their data and analytics locally rather than in the cloud.

Distribution and Deployment

The on-prem console is distributed as an OVA file (Open Virtual Appliance) that can be deployed on a virtual machine. This approach ensures a streamlined setup process while maintaining flexibility for various virtualized environments.

Requirements

A virtualized environment compatible with OVA files (e.g., VMware, VirtualBox).
Network connectivity to communicate with the Safetybits Agents.
Network connectivity to communicate with the Safetybits Backend, to perform user authentication.

For further assistance with deploying and configuring the on-prem console, the Safetybits Support team is always ready to help. You can send a message to your Safetybits contact, or ask for support at: [email protected].

Upgrade

Upgrading the on-prem console is straightforward, as all components required to operate the backend are packaged into a single Debian package called safetybits, hosted in the official Safetybits repository.

Check the release notes for any breaking changes, or special steps.

To perform an upgrade:

Ensure the system has internet access to reach the Safetybits repository.
Run the following commands to update the system and install the latest version of the Safetybits package:
```
sudo apt update
sudo apt install safetybits
```

This will perform any required migration and will also restart all the Safetybits services.
