Production Setup

The common public shape for Kindling is a Linux host running the control plane with public edge-facing hostnames.

​
Core Pieces

  • a Linux host with the required Kindling toolchain
  • PostgreSQL configured for Kindling state and logical replication
  • public DNS records for API, dashboard, and any workload hostnames
  • firewall and host permissions aligned with the chosen runtime

​
Important First-Boot Inputs

  • public_base_url
  • optional dashboard_public_host
  • optional service and preview base domains
  • optional advertise_host for browser-openable runtime URLs
These can be seeded through kindling serve flags on first boot.

​
What Production Means In Practice

Production self-hosting is not only “the server starts.” It also means:
  • TLS can be issued for the public hosts you expose
  • the dashboard build points at the correct API origin
  • the host can actually expose runtime URLs or edge-routed traffic
  • the runtime and networking permissions on the machine match the chosen deploy path
