How to operate Intrexx

You can choose to let INTREXX GmbHoperate Intrexx or operate it yourself. In the latter case, you have the choice between container deployment or a classic setup.

Intrexx Platform as a Service (PaaS)

For this option, INTREXX GmbH takes over the operation of the portal server and the portals operated on it and all the necessary infrastructure. All the components for this deployment are hosted in a German data center.

With the PaaS option, you do not need to worry about installation. All the updates are performed by INTREXX GmbH. You also don't need to purchase and operate third-party software and can focus entirely on developing solutions for your business.

Intrexx as a container deployment

You can also run Intrexx as a (Docker) container. To run Intrexx as a Docker container, use the official Intrexx Docker image, which already contains all the necessary packages and resources. You can orchestrate this with Kubernetes, for example, or on a virtual machine with Docker Compose. The container version enables quick and easy Intrexx deployment, either in your local infrastructure or with a cloud provider of your choice. You can also back up the configuration of your deployment and restore an identical deployment at any time ("Infrastructure as Code").

You can run Intrexx Docker containers in a Windows or Linux system landscape.

Classic Setup - On-Premises

You can also install Intrexx on your local infrastructure or in your (own) cloud using a classic setup. In this case, download the Intrexx setup files from Intrexx Support Center and then perform the installation.

With the on-premises option, you are responsible for the installation, operation and execution of updates of your Intrexx instance.

If you decide on the on-premises option, it is recommended that you familiarize yourself with the Intrexx architecture. In addition to installing Intrexx, you will also need third-party software such as a database system and a web server to operate Intrexx.

You can run Intrexx in a Windows or Linux system landscape.

For each option, a basic understanding of the two central components of Intrexx, the Intrexx Portal Server and the Intrexx Portal Manager, and their interaction is helpful. This is described in the following section, Intrexx Components - Portal Server and Portal Manager.
