There are a couple different ways we have tested to deploy an instance of Human Connection, with kubernetes and via Helm. In order to manage your own network, you have to install kubectl, install Helm (optional, but the preferred way), and set up a kubernetes cluster. Since there are many different options to host your cluster, we won't go into specifics here.
We have tested two different kubernetes providers: Minikube and Digital Ocean.
Check out the specific documentation for your provider. After that, choose whether you want to go with the recommended deploy option Helm, or use kubernetes to apply the configuration for Human Connection.
