Ordo is a self-hosted, declarative infrastructure management tool for teams running real workloads on their own bare metal and VMs. You declare the state you want, Ordo watches for drift, and you apply changes deliberately — with a full audit trail, and no dependency on a hosted control plane.
This section walks you from nothing to a managed fleet, moving across three machines: your workstation, the orchestrator host, and a machine you want to manage. The configuration files and systemd units shown along the way are the same templates published with each release (also listed on the Deployment templates reference page).
Start here
Work through this section in order: install Ordo, bootstrap the orchestrator, connect an agent, then run your first apply. That is the whole path — once an agent is reporting in and you have applied a module, there is nothing else to wire up.
