# Self-Hosting NodePad

> Deploy NodePad inside your own infrastructure. Posture, control, and the guarantees you can rely on.

NodePad is built to be self-hosted. On the Enterprise plan, you deploy NodePad into your own infrastructure and connect it to your own backing services. The application layer runs entirely inside your perimeter.

## Deployment shapes

<Columns cols={2}>
  <Card title="Cluster deployment" icon="server">
    For teams with an existing container orchestration environment. The deployment package targets standard cluster primitives so it slots into the platform you already run.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Single-host deployment" icon="box">
    For pilots and smaller teams. A single host runs the full stack with one configuration file.
  </Card>
</Columns>

## What stays under your control

<Columns cols={2}>
  <Card title="Application data" icon="database">
    Workspaces, messages, attachments, and settings all live in services you operate.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Provider access" icon="key-round">
    Each provider you enable is reached only with the keys you configure.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Identity and access" icon="shield-check">
    NodePad fits into the auth, network, and compliance posture you already require.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Upgrades" icon="circle-arrow-up">
    Pin a version and upgrade on your schedule.
  </Card>

## What NodePad does not do

<Columns cols={3}>
  <Card title="No phone-home" icon="check" type="check">
    Once deployed, NodePad makes no outbound calls to NodePad-managed infrastructure. No update checks, no license phone-home, no usage pings.
  </Card>

  <Card title="No outbound telemetry by default" icon="check" type="check">
    Product analytics is off unless you explicitly turn it on against an instance you control.
  </Card>

  <Card title="No data training" icon="check" type="check">
    NodePad does not train models on your conversations, regardless of deployment posture.
  </Card>
</Columns>

## Release model

Enterprise deployments use immutable, versioned releases. You pin to a specific version in your environment and upgrade when you choose. Each release ships with notes that describe new behavior, breaking changes, and any operational considerations for that version.

## Get the install package

Install instructions, the deployment package, and your support channel are scoped together with the team. We will help you pick the right posture, walk through the install, and stay close during the rollout.

<Card title="Talk to the team" icon="mail" type="info" href="https://node-pad.com/enterprise">
  Tell us about your environment. We will send the install package and walk you through deployment.
