# UI Bakery on-premise

We understand that you might have lots of data accessible from your private network, that’s why you can use UI Bakery's self-hosted version for your benefit.

On-premise version grants you:

* Custom SAML/oAuth2 SSO (available in *Enterprise* plan);
* Custom branding (available in *Enterprise* plan);
* Custom domain hosting;
* Data is stored securely under your own VPS.

UI Bakery is also **SOC 2 compliant**, demonstrating our commitment to maintaining the highest standards of data security and operational integrity.

## Getting started

{% step %}

### Installation

Install the on-premise version following our [installation instructions](https://docs.uibakery.io/install-and-update/installing-on-premise-version#installation-steps) (for *Linux*).

For *other installation options*, check out our detailed guides [here](https://docs.uibakery.io/install-and-update/installing-on-premise-version#deployment-by-instance).
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Troubleshooting

Any issues during installation? They may already be described [here](https://docs.uibakery.io/on-premise/install-and-update/troubleshooting), check it out.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Sign Up

Once the installation is complete, open the browser using the **URL** and **port** you provided during installation (by default, it is <http://localhost:3030/>).

By default, the **Login** page will open - navigate to the **Register** page (default - [http://localhost:3030/auth/register](http://localhost:3030/auth/register\).)). There, you need to sign up with your credentials - email and password.

{% hint style="info" %}
We recommend using your *work* email to sign up and create a workspace. You'll be the Admin of your workspace and you'll be able to invite your colleagues.
{% endhint %}
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Creating workspace

After signing up, you'll be prompted to create a new workspace where you can start building your apps.

{% hint style="warning" %}
It’s important to point out that your UI Bakery **cloud** version (if you have one) and UI Bakery **on-premise** are **not connected** in any way – they are not synchronized and are completely separate from each other.
{% endhint %}

Once you create your workspace, it will be empty without any apps that you might have in your cloud version. However, you can [export](https://docs.uibakery.io/concepts/export-import-an-app#exporting-an-application) your apps from cloud and [import](https://docs.uibakery.io/concepts/export-import-an-app#importing-an-application) them to the self-hosted version. It's also possible to [import a linked GitHub repository](https://docs.uibakery.io/concepts/export-import-an-app#importing-a-linked-github-repository).
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Inviting users

Our self-hosted version doesn't differ from the cloud in terms of app building, but the process of inviting users is a little bit different.

When inviting users here, they won't receive an email unless you've [set up email provider](https://docs.uibakery.io/on-premise/additional-configurations/email-configuration) to enable sending emails to users. If you haven't, then after inviting, you'll also need to send users a link to your workspace so that they will be able to register and get access to it.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

## Limitations

* The sending of emails will require [additional configuration](https://docs.uibakery.io/on-premise/additional-configurations/email-configuration) on the local instance, although the invitation system works so that any invited email can access the organization by creating an account.
* Google Sheets connection requires [additional setup](https://docs.uibakery.io/on-premise/additional-configurations/google-sheets-connection-setup).
* Salesforce connection requires [additional setup](https://docs.uibakery.io/on-premise/additional-configurations/salesforce-connection-setup).
* [Configuring blob storage](https://docs.uibakery.io/on-premise/additional-configurations/azure-blob-storage-configuration) is necessary for image component uploads.
