Core Infrastructure Installation¶
EasyTask offers two deployment models to fit your needs. Both deliver the same full feature set — the difference is where it runs and who manages the infrastructure.
Choose Your Deployment¶
Cloud Deployment¶
EasyTask hosts and manages all infrastructure components for you — database, message broker, identity management, secrets store, scheduler, and web interface. You only install worker agents on your machines to connect to the cloud platform.
| What EasyTask manages | What you manage |
|---|---|
| PostgreSQL database | Worker agents on your hosts |
| KeyDB message broker | Integration Server (optional) |
| Keycloak identity management | |
| OpenBao secrets store | |
| Scheduler & Web UI |
Cloud Agent Installation Guide
On-Premises Deployment¶
You host everything on your own Linux servers. Full data sovereignty, full control over security policies, and no external dependencies after installation.
| Component | Purpose |
|---|---|
| PostgreSQL | Primary database |
| KeyDB | Message broker (Redis-compatible) |
| Keycloak | Identity & access management |
| OpenBao | Secrets management |
| Scheduler | Workflow orchestration engine |
| Web UI | Browser-based management console |
| Worker Agent | Distributed task execution |
The on-premises installer provides a single interactive menu that handles everything — from infrastructure setup to agent installation.
Quick Comparison¶
| Cloud | On-Premises | |
|---|---|---|
| Setup time | ~5 minutes | ~10 minutes |
| Infrastructure | Managed by EasyTask | Self-hosted on your servers |
