# ermahgerd documentation

ermahgerd is a self-hostable, multi-tenant PaaS for deploying and operating
Workers-compatible applications with Wrangler. These guides cover the compact
and multi-node local profiles plus the public single-node Ansible profile. All
are single-region and non-HA; none claims to reproduce a global edge network.

## Start here

* [Getting started](/getting-started/) — create a profile, sign in, and explore
  the included applications.
* [Use the console](/console/) — manage organizations, resources, access, and
  platform health through the tenant and administrator portals.
* [Invite and manage customers](/customer-onboarding/) — issue
  signup links, onboard customers, and invite organization members.
* [Example applications](/examples/) — learn the platform through the bundled
  sum, order pipeline, photo workflow, EmDash, and Nimbus examples.

## Build and deploy applications

* [Deploy Workers](/deploy-workers/) — configure Wrangler, deploy versions,
  roll back, use secrets and schedules, and call other Workers.
* [Organizations and access](/organizations-and-access/) — work with tenant
  ownership, roles, API tokens, hostnames, and service bindings.
* [Application Access](/application-access/) — protect selected Worker
  hostnames with organization policy and service credentials.
* [Run EmDash](/emdash/) — deploy and maintain the released CMS scaffold on
  the platform using its ordinary workflow.
* [Publish the documentation site](/documentation-site/) — build and deploy
  the bundled Nimbus documentation application.

## Use platform capabilities

* [Object storage](/object-storage/) — use S3-compatible endpoints and
  R2-style Worker bindings.
* [Queues and background events](/queues/) — send durable messages and run
  Worker consumers.
* [Databases](/databases/) — create SQLite databases and use D1-compatible
  bindings and migrations.
* [Durable Objects](/durable-objects/) — deploy native named state, SQLite,
  RPC, alarms, and WebSockets through Wrangler.
* [Schedules](/schedules/) — configure Cron triggers, inspect deliveries,
  and pause or resume a Worker's scheduled work.
* [Static assets](/static-assets/) — deploy sites and Workers with versioned
  asset manifests.
* [Images](/images/) — transform images through the native Worker binding.
* [AI and vector search](/ai-and-vector-search/) — bring an OpenAI, Anthropic,
  or Fireworks account and compose AI calls with Vectorize-compatible indexes.
* [Usage and quotas](/quotas/) — understand tiers, authoritative limits, and
  platform support overrides.

## Operate the platform

* [Deployment profiles and capacity](/fleet/) — choose compact or multi-node
  placement and understand networking and capacity changes.
* [Observability](/observability/) — interpret tenant telemetry, platform
  posture, service levels, and load checks.
* [Operating the appliance](/operations/) — provision local or public hosts,
  upgrade, verify, and understand lifecycle and security boundaries.
* [HTTPS and domains](/https-and-domains/) — use trusted local Worker HTTPS,
  rehearse certificate renewal, and understand public-hosting gates.
* [Architecture](/architecture/) — inspect the rendered topology and
  sequence diagrams.

The same guides are served by the bundled Nimbus application after either
profile is started at
<https://ermahgerd-docs.t-bd7662a5eeb4.workers.ermahgerd.localhost:8443> after
`make up`.
