Enroll an outpost

An outpost is any machine that runs your workloads — a cloud cluster, a VPS, a homeserver, or a Raspberry Pi. Enroll it once and it joins your private overlay.

What an outpost is

Each outpost runs the High agent. The agent enrolls the node into your per-tenant overlay, reports its facts and health, and accepts placements — the workloads a stage assigns to it. Outposts can be anywhere; High treats a Pi at home and an EKS cluster as peers on the same private network.

Enrolling a node

Enrolling mints a one-time token and runs a single install command on the machine. Once it reports in, the node appears in the sidebar with a live heartbeat dot and is ready to run releases.
