Getting started with managed mode

Getting started with managed mode

In managed mode you install nothing and you do not manage a server. The instance runs on our side, you simply sign in and start working. This page walks you through the first steps.

1. Sign in and workspace

After signing in you create a new workspace. A workspace separates clients, projects or environments into individual units with their own access and data.

2. Guided onboarding

Onboarding guides you through adding a server, SSH access, setup variables and sensitive values via a form. You do not write any files by hand — the system prepares them for you and checks that everything is filled in correctly.

3. First deployment

Before execution a preflight readiness check runs. Then you launch a prepared workflow and watch the progress in real time. The detailed procedure is described on the First deployment and production checklist page and the guide on the Guided deployment and preflight validation page.

4. What next

For your team set roles and access according to the Workspaces, access and security page. For everyday operation use the Runbook and governance page.

Running your own server? Go to the self-hosted installation, or review the comparison of both modes.

If managed runs misbehave, use troubleshooting for managed mode.

Next step: Move to operations and governance for ongoing runbook guidance.
