Deployment Guide

Applicare supports three deployment models. Choose Docker Compose for a single-node evaluation, Helm for Kubernetes production clusters, or the native package for a dedicated VM.

Option A — Docker Compose (evaluation)#

The quickest path to a running instance. Requires Docker 20.10+ and 16 GB RAM.

curl -fsSL https://get.arcturustech.com/applicare.sh -o applicare.sh
ARC_ADMIN_EMAIL=admin@yourco.com \
ARC_LICENSE=YOUR-LICENSE-KEY \
bash applicare.sh up

The console is available at https://localhost:8443 once the health check passes (about 90 seconds).

Option B — Helm (production on Kubernetes)#

Recommended for HA. The chart provisions the server, ingest workers, and a StatefulSet for storage.

helm repo add applicare https://charts.arcturustech.com
helm repo update
helm install applicare applicare/applicare \
  --namespace applicare --create-namespace \
  --set license.key=YOUR-LICENSE-KEY \
  --set ingress.host=applicare.yourco.com \
  --set persistence.size=750Gi

Option C — Native package#

For a dedicated VM without a container runtime:

# RHEL / Rocky
sudo dnf install applicare-server
sudo applicare-setup --license YOUR-LICENSE-KEY
sudo systemctl enable --now applicare

Post-install checklist#

• Log in with the admin email you set and complete the password reset.
• Add your first hosts — see Agent Installation.
• Configure SSO and roles under Administration.
• Set alert channels in Alert Configuration.
