Provision a node

Provisioning a node creates one in your workspace in the platform and gives you a configuration file with an authentication token—ready to deploy.

Here’s how to provision a self-hosted node:

1. Go to app.tenzir.com/pipelines.
2. Click Add node in the left pane, and choose Self-hosted node.
3. Enter a name and click Add node.

The easiest way to continue is by spinning up a node with Docker.

Ephemeral Nodes

Instead of provisioning a node with a dedicated authentication token, you can also configure a workspace-wide token. Nodes that use this this token are ephemeral, i.e., not explicitly managed by the platform and will vanish once they disconnect.
