Self Hosting

Last Updated: $action.dateFormatter.formatDateTime($content.getLastModificationDate())

When Alexandria is Self-Hosted, you are responsible for setting up and maintaining your own installation and operations, including DNS access, system updates, and backing up your data.

  • You are in control of the system and its and database(s).
  • You allocate the IT staff, server facilities, and operating system platforms.
  • You schedule and perform software updates.
  • You institute a secure backup strategy and resolve network connection issues.
  • You make provisions for the up-front and ongoing maintenance costs of computer hardware.


If you have chosen to install on-premises, you may want to reconsider having COMPanion host your data. To find out more about our Cloud-Hosted services, please contact your sales representative at (800) 347-6439 for information and pricing. It's probably more affordable than you think!

First Things First

In addition to the Getting Started Guide (right), these articles provide an overview on how to prepare for the automation of your library collection. Once installed, it's best to have Alexandria open and active as you follow along, so everything makes sense.
