Self-Hosting Documentation

IntuneGet is 100% open source and designed to be self-hosted. This documentation will guide you through deploying your own instance, giving you full control over your data and infrastructure.

What is IntuneGet?

IntuneGet bridges the gap between Winget and Microsoft Intune. It automatically packages applications from the Winget repository and uploads them to your Intune environment, streamlining app deployment with just a few clicks.

The self-hosted version gives you complete control over your deployment pipeline, data storage, and authentication - perfect for organizations with specific security or compliance requirements.

Hosted vs Self-Hosted

Compare the two deployment options to decide which is right for you:

Is Self-Hosting Right for You?

Self-hosting is great if you:

  • -Need full control over your data
  • -Have compliance requirements (data residency, etc.)
  • -Want to customize the application
  • -Are comfortable with basic DevOps tasks
  • -Have existing cloud infrastructure

Consider hosted if you:

  • -Want to get started immediately
  • -Prefer zero maintenance overhead
  • -Don't have specific data residency needs
  • -Are evaluating the tool for the first time
  • -Have limited technical resources
