# Deploy
URL: https://usememos.com/docs/deploy

Choose the deployment method that matches your environment and operational needs.

In practice:

* use Docker for the fastest single-instance setup
* use Docker Compose when you want repeatable config and easier upgrades
* use the binary when you already have host-level service management in place
* use Kubernetes only when you already operate a cluster
* build from source when customizing or pinning a specific revision of Memos
* put production traffic behind a reverse proxy and HTTPS
