Administrator Guide

This guide is for administrators who install, configure, secure, and operate Emakin. It is organised by scope so you can quickly choose whether you need deployment guidance, host-level configuration, domain-level administration, or process-level administration.

Use this section when you are deploying Emakin for the first time or preparing a new environment.

Typical tasks:

  • choose a deployment model
  • prepare required services
  • install Emakin with Docker, Kubernetes, or manual setup
