Getting Started

Quazzar offers two deployment paths depending on your needs. You can install Cloud OS on a single server for a complete self-hosting platform, or deploy the Control Panel to manage a fleet of Cloud OS instances from a centralized dashboard.

Choose Your Path

Path 1: Single Server (Cloud OS)

Install Quazzar Cloud OS on any Linux server to get a full self-hosting platform with a web dashboard, app store with 115+ templates, real-time monitoring, encrypted backups, automatic SSL, VPN, AI hub, and more --- all from a single Go binary.

Best for:

• Homelabbers and developers who want full control over their server
• Small businesses replacing SaaS subscriptions with self-hosted alternatives
• Teams that require data sovereignty and on-premises deployment
• Air-gapped environments that need offline capabilities

Prerequisites:

• A Linux server (Ubuntu 22.04+, Debian 12+, Rocky Linux 9+, or Raspberry Pi OS 64-bit)
• Minimum 2 GB RAM and 20 GB disk space
• Root or sudo access
• Docker 27+ (installed automatically by the installer if missing)

Next step: Installation

Path 2: Fleet Management (Control Panel)

Deploy the Quazzar Cloud Control Panel to manage multiple Cloud OS instances, enforce governance policies, orchestrate Kubernetes clusters, and run an MSP practice --- all from a single dashboard.

Best for:

• DevOps teams managing multiple servers or environments
• Organizations that need fleet-wide governance and compliance scoring
• Managed service providers who need multi-tenancy and white-label branding
• Teams running multiple Kubernetes clusters across providers

Prerequisites:

• A Linux server or VM for the control-center binary
• PostgreSQL 15+ for the Control Panel database
• At least one Quazzar Cloud OS instance to connect
• A domain name for the Control Panel dashboard (recommended)

Next step: Control Panel Setup
