# Deploy the LLM Gateway

> Run the Manifest LLM Gateway with Docker, on a managed platform, or in your cloud account.

Everything on this page runs the same open-source gateway image on infrastructure you control, with your own PostgreSQL database. Pick the path that matches where you want it to live. If you'd rather not run anything yourself, [LLM Gateway Cloud](https://app.manifest.build) is the hosted alternative.

## Your own machine

<Card title="Docker" icon="arrow-up-right" href="/llm-gateway/docs/llm-gateway/docs/self-hosted">
  The most direct path. One install command, or docker-compose if you want to
  edit the config first. Also covers upgrades, backups, and bringing your own
  PostgreSQL.
</Card>

## Managed platforms

Someone else runs the infrastructure. Usually a one-click template or deploy button.

## Cloud providers

Your own cloud account, provisioned with the provider's own infrastructure tooling.

</CardGroup>

## Server panels

A PaaS you run on your own server, so you get deploy buttons on hardware you own.

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="Coolify" icon="arrow-up-right" href="/llm-gateway/docs/llm-gateway/docs/deploy/coolify">
    Docker Compose stack using Coolify magic variables and a private PostgreSQL
    container.

  <Card title="Easypanel" icon="arrow-up-right" href="/llm-gateway/docs/llm-gateway/docs/deploy/easypanel">
    Easypanel app service using PostgreSQL and the Manifest Docker image.
  </Card>

## Before you deploy

Most hosted deployments create paid resources. Review each provider's pricing before leaving test apps running.

For public deployments, make sure `BETTER_AUTH_URL` matches the exact browser URL. If it does not, Better Auth can reject login with an invalid-origin error.

Whichever path you pick, [Environment variables](/llm-gateway/docs/llm-gateway/docs/reference/environment-variables) is the full configuration list, and [Data and telemetry](/llm-gateway/docs/llm-gateway/docs/reference/telemetry) covers what your instance stores and what it reports back.
