FAQ

Which Deployment Option Should I Choose?

Use the single binary for a quick start or small installation. Use Docker Compose for a containerized single-node setup. Use Kubernetes with the oCIS Helm chart when you need to scale services across multiple nodes.

Do the Configuration Options Differ Between Deployment Types?

No. Infinite Scale is configured entirely through environment variables, so the same options apply to the single binary, Docker Compose and Helm deployments. The deployment type only changes how services are run and scaled. See Notes for Environment Variables.

Where Can I Find the List of Default Ports?

See the Ports Used page for the default port ranges of every service.
