Deployment Options

TriScreen is self-hosted — you choose where it runs. Here are the most common deployment options, from simplest to most robust.

Option 1: Your Desktop or Laptop

Best for: Trying TriScreen, solo recruiters, low volume.

• Download and install the native app.
• Runs whenever your computer is on.
• Careers page is only accessible while your machine is running (unless you set up a Cloudflare Tunnel).

Option 2: Dedicated Mini PC

Best for: Small teams who want always-on availability at low cost.

• A mini PC (Intel NUC, Beelink, etc.) running 24/7 at your office.
• Typical cost: $150-300 one-time.
• Low power consumption (~15W).
• Pair with Cloudflare Tunnel for public access.

Option 3: Docker

Best for: Technical teams, server deployments, reproducible environments.

# Pull the image
docker pull triscreen/triscreen:latest

# Run with persistent data
docker run -d \
  --name triscreen \
  -p 5000:5000 \
  -v triscreen_data:/data \
  -e LICENSE_KEY=your-license-key \
  triscreen/triscreen:latest

Option 4: Cloud VPS

Best for: Agencies, distributed teams, maximum uptime.

• Provision a VPS from DigitalOcean, Hetzner, Linode, or AWS.
• Recommended: 2 vCPU, 4 GB RAM ($20-40/month).
• Install Docker and run the TriScreen container.
• Point your domain directly to the VPS (no Cloudflare Tunnel needed).

Option 5: Managed Hosting (Add-On)

Best for: Teams who want zero infrastructure management.

• We provision and maintain a cloud server for you.
• $79/month add-on to any plan.
• Same TriScreen software, same data ownership guarantees.
• We handle updates, backups, and uptime monitoring.
