Getting started with 123cluster couldn’t be easier:


No credit card required
Create your account in seconds: no payment details needed. Full access from day one.
Deploy on a VM or on Kubernetes
Run 123cluster online, offline or on Kubernetes, with the same console and the same operational model either way.
Runs on the infrastructure you already have
Exact supported platforms and versions are listed under each installation method below.
Please note the terms of your free installation:
  • 30-Day Trial Period
    From the moment you install the application, all automated features (automatic backups, monitoring alerts, etc.) are fully enabled for 30 days.

  • Post-Trial Operation
    Once the 30-day trial expires, automated processes will be disabled—but your databases will remain intact. You may continue to access and manage them manually at minimal functionality.

  • License Activation
    To restore full automation, purchase a license on our website. After you enter your license key into the app, automation is re-enabled for all databases covered by that license. Any databases beyond your license limit will simply be flagged as “unlicensed.”

  • Uninterrupted Data Access
    Even if your license expires, you will not be disconnected or lose your data. You retain full access to your clusters (using your existing username/password) and can continue to work with them manually.

Online installation on a VM

VM Connection Details

  1. Run the install command on your VM:

    bash <(wget -qO- http://files.123cluster.com/bootstrap.sh)
    or
    bash <(curl -s http://files.123cluster.com/bootstrap.sh)
    and follow the prompts
  2. Accessing the console: Once installation completes, access the 123cluster console at http://<ip_address> (you'll get the address after successful installation)..
  3. Login and password: Use the username and password you set during installation.
  4. That's it! Quick links to get started: how to create your first 123cluster user, a brief overview of the console, and more.

Offline installation on a VM

On kubernetes

Installation prerequisites

  1. A running Kubernetes cluster with kubectl configured
  2. Helm 3 (package manager for Kubernetes)
  3. A storage provisioner (CSI)
  4. A CNI plugin installed
  5. Registry access — your cluster must be able to pull the 123cluster and clustertasks images from the public registry (no extra registry configuration needed)

On kubernetes

Install the application

  1. Create a namespace:
    kubectl create namespace c123-app
  2. Create your values file (my-values.yaml) with your hostname and credentials. See [full Kubernetes deployment documentation] for the complete example.
  3. Run the installation script:

    ./deploy.sh install -n c123-app -r 123cluster -f my-values.yaml
  4. Verify the install:

    ./deploy.sh status -n c123-app -r 123cluster
  5. Accessing the console: Once installation completes, open http://<your-hostname> (the address you set in your values file) in your browser.
  6. Login and password: Use the SUPERUSER_USERNAME and SUPERUSER_PASSWORD you set in your values file. Replace the example password in the sample values file before using it — don't deploy with securepass.
  7. That's it! Quick links to get started: how to create your first 123cluster user, a brief overview of the console, and more.
