Shipfox has two parts to stand up: a control plane — the API and dashboard, backed by PostgreSQL, Temporal, and S3-compatible object storage — and one or more runners that execute jobs on compute you own. This section is for whoever operates that infrastructure, typically a platform, DevEx, or SRE team.
Configuring projects and authoring workflows needs none of this. If Shipfox is already running for your team, head to Quick Start.
