Deploying in the Cloud

Right now we only support a local installation with ops/bin/local-up.sh. It uses Docker Compose under the hood. We plan to also support a Kubernetes deployment once Hocus introduces multi-node support.

If you plan to rent a server to run Hocus, keep in mind that it needs virtualization support.

  • AWS - VM-based EC2 instances don't allow nested virtualization, so you need to rent a metal server.
  • Google Cloud - You can rent a VM that supports nested virtualization.
  • Hetzner - Rent a dedicated server.
  • Other cloud providers - Check if they support nested virtualization or if you can rent a bare-metal server.
