New User (Small Business) - Questions About Hosting & Data Access

[domichelle]

Hello,

I am part of a small business exploring InvenTree for inventory management. I have a few questions and would be grateful for any help or guidance:

1. Can Inventree be installed on our own cloud infrastructure or local server?
2. Does Inventree offer any managed cloud hosting options, or is self-hosting the preferred method for long-term use?
3. In the case of system failure or shutdown, how do we ensure full access to and recovery of our data?
4. If Inventree items list and all other related databases/tables can only be populated and stored in Inventree cloud servers, are there ways to export databases for backup purposes and for potential importing into other inventory/ERP system?

Thank you!

Does Inventree offer any managed cloud hosting options, or is self-hosting the preferred method for long-term use?

Currently the project does not offer any hosted solutions.

In the case of system failure or shutdown, how do we ensure full access to and recovery of our data?

If Inventree items list and all other related databases/tables can only be populated and stored in Inventree cloud servers, are there ways to export databases for backup purposes and for potential importing into other inventory/ERP system?

There are multiple ways to exfiltrate data from the system:

• data backup and restore
• migrating data
• data API
• plugin ecosystem
