# Supported modes to run CoCalc - **SingleUser:** All projects run as a single user (who does NOT have to be root) - This is used for developing cocalc itself from within a cocalc project. - All projects run as the SAME Linux user. Obviously there is no enforced isolation between projects. - **MultiUser**: Creates and deletes users on a single Linux server - This is used mainly for cocalc-docker, but there's nothing Docker-specific about it. - Each project runs as a different Linux user. - **KuCalc**: on a Kubernetes cluster - This is used for https://cocalc.com, and relies on some other services that react to changes in the database to scheduled projects. (The services are not currently open source.) - Each project runs as a different pod (collection of Docker containers) in a Kubernetes cluster. - **Kubernetes**: on a Kubernetes cluster where the hub itself can run kubectl and create pods. - This is used for cocalc-kubernetes, and relies on: - the kubectl command being installed, - the pod running the hub having full permissions to delete and create pods on the cluster - the existence of an NFS export for the home directory of projects.
