Deploy Bruin on Ubuntu with Cron
Install Bruin CLI on an Ubuntu VM, store credentials locally, schedule production pipeline runs with cron, and verify logs.
What
Goal - Run Bruin pipelines on a self-managed Ubuntu VM with cron.
Best for - Teams that already operate VMs and want a simple, explicit production runtime on EC2, Compute Engine, DigitalOcean, or another Ubuntu server.
Prerequisites
- Ubuntu server access with sudo privileges
- Git installed on the server
- Network access from the VM to your data platforms
- A Bruin project ready to deploy
Bruin CLI can run anywhere the CLI can run, including a VM you operate. Bruin Cloud is the managed option when you want scheduling, monitoring, lineage, backfills, notifications, and secure connection management without maintaining the server.
