Installing Orangescrum is only the first step — maintaining it effectively is what ensures consistent uptime, performance, and data integrity.
Regular backups, version upgrades, log management, and scalability planning form the foundation of long-term success for self-hosted deployments.
This section covers essential post-deployment practices to keep your Orangescrum instance secure, optimized, and future-ready.
For mission-critical deployments, you can design Orangescrum for high availability and load balancing.
Tip: Always maintain synchronized backups and a dedicated staging environment before performing upgrades.
Whether you choose Docker, Compose, Kubernetes, or Manual installation, Orangescrum gives you the flexibility to deploy on your terms.
Once the installation is complete, the next step is to configure your workspace — setting up admin credentials, email, storage, and SSL, which we’ll cover in Section 4: Post-Install Configuration.
For enterprise environments using Kubernetes (K8s), Orangescrum can be deployed as a microservice cluster. This provides auto-scaling, high availability, and rolling updates.

Step 4: Deploy via Helm
For production environments, you can split services into multiple containers — typically App, Database, and Reverse Proxy (Nginx/Apache).
├── db/
└── nginx/
/yourOraganization/
├── docker-compose.yml
├── app/
├── db/
└── nginx/
services:
app:
image: yourorganization:latest
ports:
– “8080:80”
depends_on:
– db
environment:
– DB_HOST=db
– DB_USER=root
– DB_PASS=password
volumes:
– ./app/uploads:/var/www/html/app/webroot/uploads
db:

restart: always
environment:
MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD: password
MYSQL_DATABASE: database
volumes:
– ./db/data:/var/lib/mysql
nginx:
image: nginx:latest
ports:
– “80:80”
– “443:443”
volumes:
– ./nginx/conf:/etc/nginx/conf.d
Best For: Mid to large teams needing modular scaling, independent updates, and separate storage volumes.
This is the fastest and most convenient way to get Orangescrum up and running. It bundles the entire application — backend, database, and frontend — into a single portable image.
Ensure Docker is installed on your system:
If not installed, follow the official Docker installation guide.
Before loading a new image, remove any existing Orangescrum containers or images:
Extract the .zip file shared by the Orangescrum team:
This loads the Orangescrum image into Docker.
Use Docker Compose to start the container:
Once up, access Orangescrum at:
Follow the on-screen steps to:
Example database credentials (default values):
Database Host: yourhostname
Database User: yourusername
Database Password: yourpassword
Database Name: yourdatabase
Click “Finish Installation” to complete setup.
Result: You now have a working single-container Orangescrum environment — ideal for development, trials, and small internal teams
Once your infrastructure is ready, you can install Orangescrum using several deployment methods depending on your organization’s needs, preferred tech stack, and scale.
Whether you want a quick Docker setup for testing, a multi-container production deployment, or a manual LAMP/LEMP stack for complete customization — Orangescrum supports it all.
