- Andromeda configuration is now automatically created with sensible defaults on startup if missing
- Resolved performance issue causing long loading times due to cronjobs blocking worker processes
- Added
- Publications in Project Manager
- Configurable "My Projects" overview with JOBS and PRIORITES options

There are multiple ways to run PERSEUS. You can either use our automated installer scripts or deploy it manually using Docker or Podman.
If you prefer an automated setup that installs all dependencies and configures the environment for you, we provide installer scripts that set up Docker or Podman, along with Nginx and required configuration files.
Compared to the manual docker-compose approach, the installer scripts offer a more opinionated, out-of-the-box experience – ideal for quick testing, small-scale deployments, or first-time users.
We currently offer two variants:
installer-docker.sh– for Docker-based setups (requires root)installer-podman.sh– for Podman-based setups (runs containers as a dedicated non-root user)
The scripts support most major Linux distributions and will automatically detect your package manager.
To keep your deployment up to date, we also provide:
These update scripts stop the running containers, pull the latest images, restart the services, and clean up unused resources.
📖 Read more about the installer workflow in our official documentation
We also provide a ready-to-use docker-compose.yml to run PERSEUS using Docker or Podman.
Our prebuilt container images are available on Docker Hub.
⚠️ Note: This approach requires you to set up a reverse proxy (e.g. Nginx, Traefik, or Caddy) yourself to route requests to the frontend and backend containers. We recommend serving the API under '/api' and the frontend at '/'.
