Info

If you for some reason are unable to use the CLOUD service in production there is the option to create all guides on CLOUD and then provide the exported data (json-file) locally on premisesOn-prem hybrid setup

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

Examples:

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

  • Company Policy

  • Quality assurance process

    • DEV → QA → UAT → PROD

  • Compliance

    • FDA or regulatory require extensive testing with all software versions

  • Security

    • Evergreen external extension hosting prevents validation of each version

For such cases it is possible to host the web extension and data locally on-premises. The cloud solution is still used to record the guides. Guide recording is done on a lower security environment e.g. dev. The guide data and extension is then exported for self hosting. Guides are exported in JSON data format and the web extension in crx. This setup enable full control and offline still avoiding complex full stack setup, hosting and related effort.

To get started you first need to create your guides on CLOUD (lmw.technia.cloud). This requires the latest Light My Way extension that can either be installed from Chrome/Edge store https://technia.jira.com/wiki/spaces/TSD/pages/4031971409/Light+My+Way+-+Product+Documentation#Client-Installation or self-hosted https://technia.jira.com/wiki/pages/resumedraft.action?draftId=4436164619&draftShareId=dd3ddce0-b670-4835-b3cf-bcfe3eee3426.
