ObjectOS
Deploy

Air-gapped Deployment

Run ObjectOS without access to the public internet.

Air-gapped Deployment

Air-gapped deployment is for customer networks where ObjectOS cannot call a hosted control plane or public package registries at runtime.

What to ship

An offline release bundle should contain:

ItemPurpose
ObjectOS container imageRuntime binary and dependencies
objectstack.json artifactImmutable application definition
Database migration/initialization guidanceCustomer business database setup
Environment templateRequired secrets and runtime variables
Operations checklistUpgrade, rollback, backup, and diagnostics

Runtime mode

Use file-backed mode:

OS_ARTIFACT_FILE=/artifacts/objectstack.json

ObjectOS resolves every request to the packaged project and loads the artifact from disk.

Network expectations

ObjectOS does not need public internet access in this mode. Customer network rules should allow only:

  • inbound HTTP/HTTPS from the approved ingress or load balancer;
  • outbound database traffic to the customer-managed business database;
  • outbound traffic to explicitly configured integrations such as SMTP, object storage, webhook targets, or identity providers.

Authentication

If the customer uses OIDC/SSO, the identity provider must be reachable from the air-gapped network. If not, use local email/password auth or an identity provider hosted inside the same network.

Upgrade process

Treat artifacts as immutable:

  1. Import the new ObjectOS image.
  2. Place the new artifact beside the previous artifact.
  3. Update the mount or environment variable to point at the new artifact.
  4. Restart ObjectOS.
  5. Roll back by restoring the previous image tag or artifact path.
