Reading offline

Each release carries its own guides.

Each release bundle also carries its own install, sizing, backup and update guides in its docs folder, so an operator on a network with no internet can read them on the host.

If a page here doesn’t match what your install is doing, tell us at support@netends.com. That’s how a page gets fixed.

How support works ›

Read it, then run it.

Fourteen days and five devices, every tier switched on, on a host you own.
