Setup
You can roll out your own instance(s) of GLAuth using various strategies:
- you can download the binary and a config file and be immediately operational -> see our Quick Start page
- you can run a docker container; both a standalone version and one with database plugins are available -> Containerization
- running your own orchestration? A Helm chart is available -> Kubernetes
Checking release/container labels may get a tad confusing:
GLAuth’s release cycle prioritizes the standalone version for production. As a result, this is the most stable version available and will always be built from the Master branch.
Containers, on the other hand, are available with multiple labels reflecting their degree of maturity and are cut from the Master and Dev branches.
Let’s borrow the concept of “Channels” from a company who has been borrowing a lot from everyone else 😃
Channel | Git Branch | Quality | Frequency |
---|---|---|---|
Dev | Feature Branches | Rough | Rare |
Beta | Dev Branch | Reliable | Frequent |
Preview | Dev Branch | Stable | Infrequent |
Release | Master Branch | Stable | Rare |
