# Deployment

> Pick between Teable Cloud, standalone self-hosting, and the full-featured self-hosted platform.

Three ways to run Teable — pick by what you need:

|                                        | **Teable Cloud**                                   | **Full-featured self-host**                                                                                           | **Standalone self-host**               |

<Note>
  Standalone and full-featured are not a fork in the road: the full-featured
  platform **attaches a runtime plane next to your existing standalone Teable** —
  your data stays in place. Start standalone today, add AI later:

## Let an AI agent deploy it

The deployment repository is written to be driven by AI agents. Point your
agent harness (Claude Code, Codex, …) at
[teableio/teable-deployment](https://github.com/teableio/teable-deployment),
tell it which environment you're deploying to, and it can take the deployment
end to end. Prepare three things:

1. **A domain** — everything derives from one base domain, e.g.
   `teable.example.com`.
2. **A DNS token** — an API token for the platform hosting your DNS
   (Cloudflare, Route 53, …), so DNS records and TLS certificates can be set
   up automatically. Scope it to that one zone.
3. **Access to the deployment target:**

| Target                                                   | What to hand the agent                                                                        |
| -------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Your own machine — Docker all-in-one, `local` mode       | Just Docker on the machine — no domain or DNS token needed (everything runs on `*.localhost`) |
| A cloud server — Docker all-in-one                       | SSH access to the machine                                                                     |
| A managed cluster on AWS (EKS) / GCP (GKE) / Azure (AKS) | Create the cluster, then hand over its `kubeconfig`                                           |
| Any existing Kubernetes cluster                          | A `kubeconfig` that can install Helm releases                                                 |

That's all it takes — the repository's guides, doctor scripts, and version
manifests carry the agent through the rest.
