Installation

Vesana runs as a Docker Compose stack on a Linux server. Three installation paths:

Path	Audience	Time
Setup script	Standard — has internet, single server	5–10 minutes
Manual installation	If you want to control every step	15–25 minutes
Offline installation	Air-gapped, no internet	20–40 minutes

Before installing: check prerequisites.

    E --> F[Run updates]

After install

• Setup wizard walks you through admin account, tenant, SMTP, license
• Enable backup — before any real data goes in
• Updates via GUI — never run docker compose pull manually on a production instance
• For self-hosting at someone else's: read self-hosting overview
