Installation Methods

Choose the installation path that fits your environment, whether you want managed hosting with FiveNet Cloud or a self-hosted deployment with Docker or Kubernetes.

Important: Self-hosting FiveNet requires intermediate knowledge of Docker or Kubernetes. For professional support, simplified setup, or managed hosting, we recommend using FiveNet Cloud.
Please ensure you have sufficient experience with these technologies before attempting installation. Community-based support is available for installation and configuration.
