# Self-Hosted

PullApprove5 can be self-hosted on your own infrastructure, giving you full control over your deployment and data.

- **Data** — all data lives in your PostgreSQL database.
- **Network** — the only outbound connections are to your Git provider's API. There is no telemetry, license checking, or phone-home traffic.
- **Operations** — Docker + PostgreSQL. No Redis, no SMTP, no additional services. Horizontally scalable.
- **Auth** — users authenticate via your Git provider's OAuth. If you enforce SSO at the GitHub or GitLab level, PullApprove inherits that enforcement.

[Contact us](https://www.pullapprove.com/support/) if you're interested in a self-hosted deployment.

## Getting Started

1. [**Deploy**](/docs/self-hosted/deploy/) the Docker containers with a PostgreSQL database
2. **Connect a Git provider** by creating a GitHub App or GitLab application:
   - [**GitHub**](/docs/self-hosted/github/)
   - [**GitLab**](/docs/self-hosted/gitlab/)
3. **Install the app** on your repositories and PullApprove will start processing pull requests
