+description: Deploy and operate Mattermost in a self-hosted air-gapped environment with no direct internet access.

+
+An air-gapped environment is one that's isolated from the public internet, requiring all necessary components to be available locally. This section outlines what you'll need to deploy and operate Mattermost in a self-hosted air-gapped environment — preparation, deployment guidance, and the configuration changes required for a successful deployment.
+
+Deploying Mattermost in an air-gapped environment requires preparing all necessary software, container images, and configuration resources in advance, since the target system has no direct internet access; transferring these artifacts to the isolated network using secure media; and then installing, configuring, and validating the deployment within the air-gapped environment.
+
+<Tip>
+
+Consider [talking to a Mattermost expert](https://mattermost.com/contact-sales/) if your organization needs support deploying Mattermost and supporting services in an air-gapped environment.
