Installation with the deployment scripts (Linux)
The recommended way to deploy Aron to production on Linux. The deployment scripts automate installation, updates, database backups and health monitoring of the application (a systemd service plus a PostgreSQL database). Installation is a single command:
curl -fsSL https://get.lightcomp.com/aron/aron-bootstrap.sh | bash -s -- --home /opt/aron
A detailed deployment procedure and a configuration overview of the scripts are on the get.lightcomp.com/aron page itself.
Distribution package
An alternative for manual installation. The package contains the built Aron application including the web interface and default configuration, ready for production deployment. It requires Java 21 and a PostgreSQL database.
