On-prem hybrid setup

There are cases when connecting cloud hosted guide data and evergreen extensions with your production environment is restricted, not possible or undesired.

Examples:

  • Air-gapped production (e.g. top secure defence install without internet)

  • Company Policy

  • Quality assurance process requirements (DEV → QA → UAT → PROD)

  • Compliance (FDA or regulatory require extensive testing and control)

  • Security (Evergreen external extension hosting prevents validation and control for each version)

The solution is on-prem hosting of both web extension (browser plugin client) and data. The cloud solution is still used to record the guides (on dev or similar env without restrictions). The guide data and web extension are exported for self hosting. Guides are exported in JSON data format and the web extension using self hosting (.crx).

This setup enable full control with fixed offline package still avoiding complex full stack setup and system ownership (hosting and related effort).

  • Making guides → lmw.technia.cloud on dev env (read only)

  • Using guides → On-prem on prod env (read only)

Note

Matching web extension & data versions

For the on-prem self hosting to work, the data package and web extension versions must match!

To ensure matching versions we recommend extension self hosting and json guide data hosting in pair using the same service. The guide data extraction and web extension self hosting package creation should be done at the same time.
