Deployment and operations
Xyops is self-hosted and licensed under BSD-3-Clause. Installation details are delegated to its self-hosting guide; the README provides a Node.js LTS-based procedure only for local development. Community support is available on the free tier, while paid Professional and Enterprise tiers add support commitments. Enterprise also lists SSO setup and air-gapped installation support. The supplied material does not document Docker or Kubernetes deployment.
