Quickstart

Start a self-hosted Idelium demo

Deploy Idelium locally, import a test cycle and run the first execution from your own infrastructure.

This quickstart is designed for teams that want to evaluate Idelium without committing to a managed service or exposing internal systems.

What you deploy

The demo stack gives you the same operating model used in production: Web, API, database and an execution flow driven by CLI agents.

  • Idelium Web for projects, environments, tests and cycles.
  • Idelium API for orchestration and results.
  • MariaDB for persistent data.
  • Idelium CLI for executions from local hosts or CI systems.

Why it helps SEO and evaluation

The page explains the concrete deployment path with vocabulary that engineering teams search for: self-hosted test automation, Selenium, Postman, Newman and CI/CD.

  • Clear product intent for search engines.
  • Useful onboarding page for evaluators.
  • Direct links to documentation and CLI download.

Implementation steps

  1. Clone the repositoriesClone Idelium Web, API and Docker repositories as sibling folders so Docker Compose can mount the expected sources.
  2. Start the Docker stackFollow the Docker wiki to launch the frontend, API, database and initialization service.
  3. Install Idelium CLIInstall the CLI from PyPI and use it to execute a selected project, cycle and environment.

Common questions

Can I run the quickstart without a cloud account?
Yes. The intended evaluation path is self-hosted and can run on your workstation or inside a controlled lab environment.
Is the execution agent part of the web stack?
No. The CLI can run separately, close to browsers, mobile devices, APIs or the CI system that triggers the execution.
