How do I deploy GitHub Enterprise Server?

GitHub distributes GitHub Enterprise Server as a self-contained virtual appliance. After you provision a virtual machine and install the appliance, the instance runs a Linux operating system with a custom application stack. Installing third-party software or making changes to the underlying operating system is not supported.

You can deploy GitHub Enterprise Server to a virtualization hypervisor within your on-premises datacenter, or to a public cloud service.

Supported on-premises hypervisors

  • Microsoft Hyper-V
  • OpenStack KVM
  • VMware ESXi

Supported cloud services

  • Amazon Web Services (AWS)
  • Google Cloud Platform (GCP)
  • Microsoft Azure

Administrative options

You can give certain employees administrative access to your GitHub Enterprise Server instance. GitHub has found that people with Linux administration experience are more successful with deployment and maintenance.

Administrators can:

  • Configure and monitor the instance via browser, administrative SSH access, and REST or GraphQL APIs
  • Set up external authentication using CAS, LDAP, or SAML
  • Set usage policies to ensure compliance with business rules or regulatory restrictions

Backups and availability

GitHub Enterprise Server provides options for safeguarding against data loss or service disruptions.

  • To back up configuration and user data, you can take regular snapshots of your instance using our Backup Utilities system.
  • To increase reliability, you can configure a passive replica instance to fail over to in the event of a system or network failure.
  • To improve performance, you can configure active replicas to scale the instance for dispersed users or high demand.
