Self host without docker

Hey guys, I'm planning to deploy langfuse on a machine where I can't install a docker. Is there a way to run your application without a docker?

Where do you want to host? Our server is basically a nextjs application. Did you try to run it as a node.js server? (https://nextjs.org/docs/pages/building-your-application/deploying#nodejs-server)

quick howto

git clone git@github.com:langfuse/langfuse.git
cd langfuse
npm i
cp .env.local.example .env

git clone git@github.com:langfuse/langfuse.git
cd langfuse
npm i
cp .env.local.example .env

Edit the .env, you need a running postgres (easiest to run it in docker though or use a managed provider)

npm run build
node .next/standalone/server.js

npm run build
node .next/standalone/server.js

No I haven't tried anything in this regard yet. I was very happy with the docker deployment but I'm in discussion with our hardware guys about how to deploy it on the machine we have in mind. It will be basicly a gentoo server with some other software running on it. With the quick how to I can see how it might work without docker. Thanks a lot!

Ok, awesome. Alternatively, marcs message from above would help you to get the node server running without Docker.
