Helmut4 Server

The purpose of this guide is to provide comprehensive instructions for the successful deployment of the latest version of Helmut4.

Helmut4 offers two hosting options:

• Single (standalone) server installation

• Cluster installation

Single (Standalone) Server Installation

The single server deployment method is the default for Helmut4. All necessary components run on a single system, ensuring a straightforward and easy setup.

Cluster installation

For customers managing a higher volume of users (~60+), a cluster installation provides an alternative solution for load balancing and redundancy.

This setup requires a minimum of three individual machines, which will be combined to form a swarm cluster. For further information check out the official docker documentation.

Cluster systems have a distinct SLA/support agreement compared to the default single-server installation.
