# SAMURAI Docs · Deploy, Requirements & Licensing

> Deploy with one docker run, see what it runs on, and how licensing works: a free test license for evaluation and per-deployment pricing for production.

## Quick start
The whole install is one container. Pull the image, run it, open the dashboard; a typical deployment is serving data in about five minutes. MongoDB is bundled in the image; point MONGODB_URL at an external MongoDB and it is used automatically.

- Docker image: https://hub.docker.com/r/beyrak44/samurai (linux/amd64 + linux/arm64)
- A free test license is available on the Docker Hub page, no email required.

## Requirements
Runs on a single VM. Self-hosted only; works fully air-gapped with an offline IEEE OUI database and no outbound telemetry. Optional custom TLS certificates.

## Security posture
Role-based access control, LDAP or local authentication, AES-256-GCM encryption of stored credentials, and a full audit log.

## Licensing & pricing
Production licensing is per-deployment, sized by device count; no per-user seats and no usage metering. Quotes typically within 24 hours via the contact form.

## Common questions

### How much does SAMURAI cost?
Evaluation is free: a test license ships with the Docker Hub image, no email required. Production licensing is per-deployment and sized by device count, no per-user seats, no usage metering. Request a quote via the contact form; replies typically arrive within 24 hours.

### Is there a free version of SAMURAI?
There is a free test license for evaluation, available on the Docker Hub page with no email required. It runs the full feature set on your real devices. Production use requires a per-deployment license.

### How long does deployment take?
A typical deployment is serving data in about five minutes: one docker run on a single VM, MongoDB bundled in the image.

### Does SAMURAI modify my devices?
No. Device access is read-only, show commands over SSH and read calls on vendor APIs. SAMURAI observes and reports; it never pushes configuration.

### What data leaves my network?
None. SAMURAI is fully self-hosted with no telemetry, and runs in air-gapped environments with an offline IEEE OUI database.
