# Deployment

## On-Premises Package

Once you have purchased Monolith and are ready to deploy - you will be provided with a Monolith On-premises deployment package.  This package will contain configuration files necessary to run the deployment.

## Package Contents

The package will contain the following items:

* .env
  * This is an environment file that will contain variables that are injected into your Monolith deployment at run time.  This is where your licensing information will be location along with other settings.
* docker-compose.yml
  * This is a Docker deployment configuration file.  This file dictates how the various Monolith containers will be built and deployed.
  * This allows you to use a pre-defined configuration so that you don't need to build the Monolith Docker deployment from scratch.
* init folder
  * This contains additional configuration files needed for successful deployment.
