Each deployment scenario corresponds to a deployment profile, as described below. All these instructions use the deployment scripts from the [medco-deployment](https://github.com/ldsec/medco-deployment) repository. **If you are new to MedCo…** … and want to try to deploy the system on a single machine to test it, you should should follow the [Local Test Deployment](/medco-documentation/v0.2.1/system-administrator-guide/deployment/local-test-deployment.md) guide. … and want to create or join a MedCo network, you should follow the [Network Test Deployment](/medco-documentation/v0.2.1/system-administrator-guide/deployment/network-test-deployment.md) guide. … and want to develop around MedCo, you should follow the [Local Development Deployment](/medco-documentation/v0.2.1/system-administrator-guide/deployment/local-development-deployment.md) guide. ### Deployment Profiles A *deployment profile* is composed of two things: * a *compose profile* in `~/medco-deployment/compose-profiles//`: docker-compose file and parameters like ports to expose, log level, etc. * a *configuration profile* in `~/medco-deployment/configuration-profiles//`: files mounted in the docker containers, containing the cryptographic keys, the certificates, etc. Some profiles are provided by default, for development or testing purposes. Those should not be used in a production scenario with real data, as the private keys are set by default, thus not private. Other types of profiles must generated using the scripts in `~/medco-deployment/resources/profile-generation-scripts//`. The different profiles are the following: * *test-local-3nodes* ([Local Test Deployment](/medco-documentation/v0.2.1/system-administrator-guide/deployment/local-test-deployment.md)) > * for test on a single machine (used by the [MedCo live demo](https://medco-demo.epfl.ch/)) > * 3 nodes on any host > * using the latest release of the source codes > * no debug logging > * profile pre-generated * *test-network* ([Network Test Deployment](/medco-documentation/v0.2.1/system-administrator-guide/deployment/network-test-deployment.md)) > * for test on several different hosts > * a single node on a host part of a MedCo network > * using the latest release of the source codes > * no debug logging > * profile must be generated prior to use with the provided scripts * *dev-local-3nodes* ([Local Development Deployment](/medco-documentation/v0.2.1/system-administrator-guide/deployment/local-development-deployment.md)) > * for software development > * 3 nodes on the local host > * using development version of source codes > * debug logging enabled > * profile pre-generated The database is pre-loaded with some encrypted test data using a key that is pre-generated from the combination of all the participating nodes’ public keys. For the *test-network* deployment profile this data will not be correctly encrypted, since the public key of each node is generated independently, and, as such, the data must be re-loaded. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter: ``` GET https://ldsec.gitbook.io/medco-documentation/v0.2.1/system-administrator-guide/deployment.md?ask= ``` The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
