# Self-hosting

The self-hosted solution allows you to run the slaOS indexer on your own infrastructure, providing greater control over your data. This option is ideal for organizations with strict data locality requirements or those who prefer to manage their own infrastructure.

## System requirements

* Minimum `X` CPU cores, `XGB` RAM
* `XXXGB` storage (scalable based on data volume)
* Network access to your data sources and slaOS API endpoints

## Setting up the self-hosted solution

1. **Download the Docker Image:** Obtain the slaOS indexer from our repository.
2. **Install the Indexer:** Deploy the indexer on your infrastructure, whether it’s Docker, Kubernetes, or a bare-metal environment.
3. **Configure the Indexer:** Modify the configuration file in YAML format to suit your specific data sources and slaOS account details. Here's a sample configuration:

```yaml
inputs:
  - integration: cloudwatch
    integration_prefix: "cloudwatch_logs_test"
    type: logs
    cloudwatch:

      aws_access_key_id: AKIAXXXXX
      aws_secret_access_key: X/XXX+XXX
      logs_config:
        log_group_name: "/aws/apprunner/prod-rated-api/"
        filter_pattern: '{ $.event = "request_finished" }'
    filters:

      log_format: json_dict
      fields:
        - key: "status_code"
          field_type: "integer"
          path: "status_code"
        - key: "customer_id"
          field_type: "string"
          path: "user.id"
        - key: "path"
          field_type: "string"
          path: "request_route_name"
    offset:
      type: redis
      override_start_from: true
      start_from: 1724803200000
      start_from_type: bigint
      redis:
        host: redis
        port: 6379
        db: 0


output:
  type: "console"
  console:
    verbose: true

secrets:
  use_secrets_manager: false

```

</details>

4. **Start the Indexer:** Launch the indexer and verify data ingestion via the slaOS dashboard.
