|

---
|
||||
|
||||
## Configuration Overview
|
||||
|
||||
All configuration for the Infisical Linux package is managed through a single file called `infisical.rb`, located in the `/etc/infisical` directory.
|
||||
This file defines all necessary settings, including encryption keys, database connections, and environment-specific settings.
|
||||
|
||||
<Info> After making any changes to the `infisical.rb` file, always run `infisical-ctl reconfigure` to apply them. </Info>
|
||||
|
||||
### Example Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
```ruby infisical.rb
|
||||
# Important: Replace these values with secure keys in production
|
||||
infisical_core['ENCRYPTION_KEY'] = '6c1fe4e407b8911c104518103505b218'
|
||||
infisical_core['AUTH_SECRET'] = '5lrMXKKWCVocS/uerPsl7V+TX/aaUaI7iDkgl3tSmLE='
|
||||
|
||||
# Database connection strings
|
||||
infisical_core['DB_CONNECTION_URI'] = 'postgres://<username>:<password>@<host>:5432/<database>'
|
||||
infisical_core['REDIS_URL'] = 'redis://<host>:6379'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
For a full list of supported configuration variables, refer to the [configuration variables documentation](/self-hosting/configuration/envars).
|
||||
|
||||
## All `infisical-ctl` Commands
|
||||
|
||||
The Infisical Linux package includes the `infisical-ctl` command-line tool, which allows you to manage your deployment.
|
||||
The available commands are listed below.
|
||||
|
||||
| Command | Description |
|
||||
|-----------------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|
||||
| `infisical-ctl reconfigure` | Applies changes from `infisical.rb` and restarts the Infisical services. |
|
||||
| `infisical-ctl start` | Starts the Infisical services. |
|
||||
| `infisical-ctl stop` | Stops all running Infisical services. |
|
||||
| `infisical-ctl status` | Displays the current status of the Infisical services. |
|
||||
| `infisical-ctl tail` | Streams real-time logs from the Infisical application. |

description: "Learn how to deploy Infisical using the Linux package"
|

---
|
||||
|
||||
Infisical can be deployed on Linux virtual machines without the need for containers using our standalone Linux packages.
|
||||
These packages are available in both .deb (for Debian-based systems) and .rpm (for RHEL-based systems) formats.
|
||||
The installation includes the Infisical service, along with a CLI tool (infisical-ctl) to help you manage configurations, startup, and application logging.
|
||||
This approach is ideal for environments where containerization isn't desired, while still providing a lightweight deployment option.
|
||||
|
||||
## Prerequisites
|
||||
|
||||
This installation method only provides the Infisical application. You are responsible for configuring both PostgreSQL and Redis, either by using managed services (e.g., AWS RDS, Azure Database, GCP Cloud SQL/Memorystore) or by deploying them manually in your on-prem environment.
|
||||
Please ensure you have the following before beginning installation of Infisical:
|
||||
|
||||
- A Linux server running a Debian/Ubuntu or RHEL-based distribution
|
||||
- A running PostgreSQL database instance (version 14 and up)
|
||||
- A running Redis database instance (versions 6.x or 7.x)
|
||||
|
||||
## Installation Steps
|
||||
|
||||
<Steps>
|
||||
|
||||
<Step title="Install the Infisical Package">
|
||||
Select your Linux distribution to get started. Only AMD64-based systems are supported at this time, ARM support is coming soon.

Add the Infisical repository:
|
||||
```bash

||||
curl -1sLf 'https://dl.cloudsmith.io/public/infisical/infisical-core/setup.deb.sh' | sudo -E bash
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Install Infisical:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -y infisical-core
|
||||

Verify the installation:
|
||||

|
||||
infisical-ctl help
|
||||
```
|
||||
</Step>
|
||||
|
||||
<Step title="Create the Configuration File">
|
||||
Create an `infisical.rb` file at `/etc/infisical`. This file contains your database connection strings and other runtime settings.
|
||||
|
||||
```ruby
|
||||
# Important: Replace with secure values in production
|
||||
infisical_core['ENCRYPTION_KEY'] = '6c1fe4e407b8911c104518103505b218'
|
||||
infisical_core['AUTH_SECRET'] = '5lrMXKKWCVocS/uerPsl7V+TX/aaUaI7iDkgl3tSmLE='
|
||||
|
||||
# Example database connection strings
|
||||
infisical_core['DB_CONNECTION_URI'] = 'postgres://<db-username>:<db-password>@<db-host>:<db-port>/<db-name>'
|
||||
infisical_core['REDIS_URL'] = 'redis://<redis-host>:<redis-port>'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
See the full list of options in our [configuration documentation](/self-hosting/configuration/envars).
|
||||
</Step>
|
||||
|
||||
<Step title="Start Infisical">
|
||||
1. Start the Infisical service:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
infisical-ctl reconfigure
|
||||
```
|
||||
The server runs on port `8080` by default (customizable in `infisical.rb`).
|
||||
|
||||
2. Check the service status:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
infisical-ctl status
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
View the service logs in real-time:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
infisical-ctl tail
|
||||
```
|
||||
</Step>

||||
|

</Steps>

## Platform Support
|
||||
|
||||
### Microsoft Windows
|
||||
Infisical is built for Linux-based systems. It is not supported on Microsoft Windows, and we do not plan to support it in the near future. For Windows users, consider running Infisical in a virtual machine or WSL2 environment.
|
||||
|
||||
### Unsupported Linux Distributions and Unix-like Systems
|
||||
Infisical is not tested or officially supported on the following:
|
||||
|
||||
- Arch Linux
|
||||
- Fedora
|
||||
- FreeBSD
|
||||
- Gentoo
|
||||
- macOS
|
||||
|
||||
We recommend sticking to officially supported distributions for the best experience.
|
||||
|
||||
## Linux vs Containerized Deployments
|
||||
|
||||
Infisical is a stateless application, which means it can be easily scaled and redeployed without maintaining internal state between instances.
|
||||
|
||||
If your use case requires rolling updates, self-healing, or auto-scaling, we recommend deploying Infisical in a containerized environment such as Kubernetes/OpenShift, or using managed container orchestration services like AWS ECS or Google Cloud Run.
|
||||
These platforms offer built-in capabilities for high availability and help simplify operational overhead for your deployment.
