Guides
Operational guides for Docker deployments and running Defend in production with health checks and metrics.
These guides assume you already have a working config and API from Getting started. They focus on how to run Defend like a service: repeatable container runs, health and readiness probes, metrics scraping, and operational habits (secrets, logging) that matter once you leave a single laptop.
If you have not read them yet, Sessions and Security and privacy pair well with production deployment.
Available guides
Docker covers a read-only config mount and exposing port 8000 without installing Python on the host. Production covers readiness probes, Prometheus scraping, logging, and how output guarding affects what leaves your network.
