Idelium is designed for organizations that need control over data, network boundaries and execution hosts without giving up a shared testing platform.
Control plane in your network
The Docker stack exposes the web frontend while keeping API and database services isolated behind the reverse proxy.
- HTTPS frontend as the public entry point.
- API and MariaDB isolated inside the Docker network.
- Initialization and migrations handled by the stack.
Execution remains flexible
CLI agents can run outside the web stack, which makes it easier to reach internal browsers, devices, test data and private APIs.
- Separate execution hosts.
- CI/CD runner integration.
- No vendor lock-in for runtime infrastructure.
Implementation steps
- Prepare configurationKeep secrets out of Git and provide deployment-specific values through ignored files or a managed secret store.
- Start Docker ComposeLaunch the prepared stack and wait for services and migrations to become ready.
- Connect execution agentsInstall Idelium CLI where tests should run and connect it to the self-hosted API.
Common questions
- Is Idelium free to self-host?
- Yes. Idelium is positioned as an open-source and free-to-use project.
- Can I keep test data inside my network?
- Yes. The platform and execution agents are meant to run inside infrastructure you control.
