Getting Started

Gruxi can be installed on various platforms, and the method you choose depends on your environment and preferences.

In terms of performance, prebuilt binaries and packages will typically perform better than Docker-based installs. Docker adds an extra abstraction layer (networking/file system), which can have a measurable impact. This trade-off may be perfectly acceptable for your use case and probably is for most users.

Based on your needs, choose one of the following installation methods:

• Prebuilt binaries - Best for users who want a simple, standalone installation without the overhead of a container. Ideal for development or production on any platform.

• Packages - Best for Linux users who want easy installation and service integration.

• Docker - Best for users who want containerization, easy cleanup, and consistent environments across platforms. Ideal for development and production in containerized infrastructure.

• Windows Service - Best for users who want Gruxi to run as a Windows service, ensuring it starts automatically with the system and runs in the background. Ideal for production environments on Windows servers.
