Installation

Learn what a Kloudlite installation is and how to create and manage your installation on console.kloudlite.io

What is an Installation?

An Installation is your team's complete Kloudlite deployment - a dedicated platform instance running on its own domain at {subdomain}.khost.dev

Key Features

Isolated Resources

No data is shared with Kloudlite. Everything is installed and runs from your installation - either in your cloud (BYOC) or on isolated dedicated infrastructure (Cloud mode)

Administration

Team management, OAuth configurations, and machine type settings are managed within your installation at {subdomain}.khost.dev

Team Collaboration

Members discover and interact with environments and workspaces within the scope of the installation

Proximity to Team

Deploy in your preferred cloud region (AWS, GCP, or Azure) close to your team for low latency access to workspaces and environments

Note: Installation is registered in console.kloudlite.io for subdomain allocation and root user access management only.

Managing Installations

Installation Details

From console.kloudlite.io, you can view details about your installations:

  • Installation URL ({subdomain}.khost.dev)
  • Current status and health
  • Cloud provider and region
  • Installation owner information

Super User Access

The installation owner (root user) has full administrative access to the installation:

  • Access installation admin panel at {subdomain}.khost.dev
  • Manage all team members, environments, and workspaces
  • Configure OAuth providers and authentication settings
  • Manage machine types and resource allocations

Transfer Ownership

The current installation owner can transfer ownership to another user through console.kloudlite.io:

  • Navigate to the installation card in the console
  • Click on "Transfer Ownership"

Uninstallation

Warning: This action is irreversible

Uninstalling will permanently remove all associated workspaces, environments, and data.

Follow the uninstallation process specific to your cloud provider to clean up all resources.
