# On-Premises (generic)
**Follow this guide if:**
* You want to deploy Hivel within your own infrastructure.
* You want full control over the application, database, and supporting services.
* You prefer to self-manage infrastructure components such as PostgreSQL.
* Your organization requires Hivel to operate within a private or on-premises environment.
* You need a deployment that is independent of cloud-specific managed services.

**Note:** If you're on AWS/Azure and prefer a managed database, use the [**VPC deployment**](/self-managed-hivel-deployment/virtual-private-cloud.md) path instead. All other steps are identical.
