Common signs: a client, college or enterprise wants the app on their own servers. Usual causes: data control, policy or compliance needs. What we do: package, install and document the app on the client's infrastructure. What you get: a working install and handover.
Our on-premise deployment installs your app on a client's own servers or private cloud, which colleges, enterprises, hospitals and government bodies often require. A Codersarts DevOps engineer packages the app, installs it with the client's IT team, sets up SSL, backups and an update process, and documents who is responsible for what. Fixed price from $199 with 1-day delivery.

What Is On-Premise Deployment?
On-premise deployment means running your software on infrastructure the client owns or controls, such as their data center, office servers or private cloud account, instead of your hosting. It gives the client control over data and access, and moves some responsibility, such as hardware and network uptime, to them.
The key to doing it well is agreeing in writing who handles what: servers, network, backups, updates and support.
Signs You Need an On-Premise Install
A college, hospital or enterprise requires data on their own servers
Procurement or compliance rules out third-party hosting
The client wants to avoid internet dependency
You're selling to government or regulated industries
You want to reduce your own uptime liability for a client
Why On-Premise Installs Go Wrong
No packaging
Installs depend on manual steps.
Unclear responsibilities
Nobody owns backups or updates.
No update process
Clients stay on old, insecure versions.
Network surprises
Firewalls, proxies and DNS block the app.
Quick Checks You Can Try First
Get the client's server specifications and operating system.
Ask about firewall, proxy and internet access rules.
Package the app as Docker images if possible.
Agree who handles backups and updates.
If the problem remains, our engineers take it from there.
How We Deploy On-Premise
Gather requirements. Servers, network, security and access rules.
Package. Docker images or an install package for the app.
Install. Install with the client's IT team.
Secure. SSL, firewall rules and secure configuration.
Backups and updates. Backup jobs and a documented update process.
Hand over. Runbook and responsibility matrix.
What You Get
A working install on the client's servers
An install package you can reuse
SSL, backups and secure configuration
A documented update process
A responsibility matrix and runbook
Example result (illustrative)
An EdTech platform's partner college required the app on its own servers. We packaged the app with Docker Compose, installed it with the college IT team, set up nightly backups to the college's storage and documented updates. The college runs the servers, and the platform pushes updates through a simple script.
What Is Included and Not Included

Who This Is For
EdTech platforms selling to colleges
B2B software sold to enterprises
Healthcare and government software
Founders who want to limit uptime liability
What We Need From You
Remote access to the client's server
Server and network details
A contact in the client's IT team
Your app's repository or images
Code and data privacy
We sign an NDA on request, work with the least access needed, and never keep copies of your data after delivery. You own all code, configuration and notes.
Key Terms Explained

Common Mistakes We Avoid
Installing by hand without a package
Not agreeing who owns backups
No way to deliver updates
Ignoring the client's firewall and proxy rules

Frequently Asked Questions
Who is responsible for uptime on-premise?
Usually the client for hardware and network, and you for the application. We write this down in a responsibility matrix.
How do updates work?
Through a documented process, often pulling new Docker images, that the client or your team runs.
Can you install without internet access?
Yes, with offline image bundles for air-gapped servers.
Can you visit the client in person?
Yes, if required, though most installs are done remotely.
Install Where Your Client Needs It
Share your app and the client's server details, and a Codersarts DevOps engineer will plan the install.
