Select Your Deploy Environment
Every guide deploys the full pipeline, starts a simulated syslog feed, and confirms data end to end. Managed is a quick demo — on-prem deployments are encouraged for real workloads.
Managed (Demo)
Fastest way to see ByteFreezer in action. Deploy a proxy on your host — we handle processing and storage. Includes simulated syslog feed. View your data on the dashboard and query it in the browser. Great for getting started — deploy on-prem when ready for real workloads.
What you need
- •A Linux host (VM, cloud instance, or bare metal)
- •Docker or systemd
- •Outbound HTTPS access
On-Prem: Docker Compose
Full pipeline on a single host — proxy, receiver, piper, packer, MinIO, and connector. Includes simulated syslog feed. Your data stays on your machine. Query Parquet files locally with the built-in DuckDB connector. Recommended starting point for on-prem.
What you need
- •A Linux host with 4GB+ RAM
- •Docker and Docker Compose
- •Ports 9000, 8080-8083 available
On-Prem: Kubernetes
Full pipeline on Kubernetes via Helm charts — same components as Docker Compose, deployed as pods. Includes simulated syslog feed. Your data stays in your cluster. Query Parquet files locally with the connector. Scales to HA with replicas when ready.
What you need
- •A Kubernetes cluster (k3s, EKS, GKE, AKS)
- •Helm 3
- •LoadBalancer or MetalLB
