# Robotiq.ai on-premise solution – Appendix to “Platform Overview”

The Robotiq.ai on-premise solution works just like the cloud-hosted platform. The main difference is how you set it up and run it. You use an on-premise solution when you need to put the Robotiq.ai Headquarters (HQ) application inside your own systems.

## What You'll Need

-   Access to your company's infrastructure team
-   Docker Compose knowledge for setup
-   The ability to manage a PostgreSQL database

## Key Differences: Cloud vs. On-Premise 

Robotiq.ai's main functions stay the same, but the on-premise solution works differently in a few ways:

### Setup and Management

-   **Cloud:** Robotiq.ai runs the HQ application using Azure Container Apps. Our team handles updates and new versions.
-   **On-Premise:** You set up HQ services as Docker images using Docker Compose. Your infrastructure team handles installations, updates, and new versions. Robotiq.ai can help if you need it.

### Robot Communication

-   **Default:** Robots communicate with HQ using SignalR over HTTPS

### DNS Configuration

-   Your infrastructure team must provide hostnames (DNS records) for the Frontend, Gateway, and Authentication services. This makes sure users can get to the HQ application.

### New Releases

-   Your infrastructure team gets access to the Robotiq.ai repository. This repository holds signed Docker images for HQ.
-   You can download new images and install them by following instructions from the Robotiq.ai release management team.
