Before you begin
- A host that matches a Community Edition target currently listed on /download
- Permission to install software or run Docker on that host
- A backup location for the complete Community Edition state created by the installer
Choose the guide for your host
Community Edition is available through native installers and a container image. Open /download for the version, filename, architecture, checksum, signature, and image digest available now.
On Linux, choose the native package when you want the server managed as a systemd service on the host. Choose Docker when your team already operates containers and wants the complete deployment stored in one named volume.
| Host | Published form | How the server runs |
|---|---|---|
| Windows x64 | Per-user .exe installer | The Orchestris tray application starts and manages the API process. |
| macOS Apple Silicon (arm64) | .pkg installer | The installing user runs the server in Terminal; the package does not add a background service. |
| Linux x64 | .deb or RPM package | The package installs an orchestris systemd service. |
| Linux x64/amd64 with Docker | GHCR container image | The container runs the API with its complete persistent state mounted at /data. |

Before installing
- 1
Select the live artifact
Open /download and choose the Community Edition artifact matching the host and architecture.
- 2
Verify integrity
Compare the SHA-256 value and use the published signature where one is supplied. For Docker, prefer the immutable digest reference.
- 3
Plan durable state
Choose a local persistent state location and an independent backup target. Restoring the database without its original secrets can leave encrypted or authenticated data unusable.
- 4
Follow the platform lifecycle
Use the matching guide above for first-administrator setup, start and stop behavior, logs, upgrades, rollback limits, and removal.
