Enterprise Self-Hosting

OpenFactory Enterprise can run in a customer-controlled environment for teams that need private networking, air-gapped operation, custom compliance controls, or tighter integration with existing infrastructure.

Self-hosting is an Enterprise deployment option. It is not required for Free or Pro use of OpenFactory.

What Self-Hosting Provides

Capability	Description
Private control plane	Run OpenFactory services inside your cloud, data center, or lab network
Customer-managed compute	Use your virtualization, storage, networking, and security controls
Enterprise identity	Connect SSO, organization roles, and audit workflows
Artifact control	Keep images, logs, test evidence, and downloads inside your environment
Air-gapped support	Deploy with restricted internet access when your plan includes it

Typical Architecture

An Enterprise deployment includes:

OpenFactory web console
OpenFactory API services
Build workers
VM or hypervisor integration
Artifact storage
Identity, audit, and integration services

The exact topology is agreed during onboarding and depends on your cloud, hypervisor, network, and compliance requirements.

Deployment Options

Option	Best For
Hosted OpenFactory	Fastest start, managed by OpenFactory
Private cloud deployment	Teams that need customer-owned networking and identity controls
On-prem deployment	Labs, regulated environments, or facilities with local hypervisors
Air-gapped deployment	High-control environments with restricted external connectivity

Hardware Support

OpenFactory is a software platform today. Self-hosted deployments can target your own servers, workstations, edge systems, and hypervisor clusters. Validated hardware profiles and appliance-style offerings are planned for customers who want a more turnkey deployment path.
