Otherwise, in terms of administration, Space On-Premises is no different from its cloud version – refer to Administrator's Guide for basic administration instructions.

Enable push notifications for mobile clients
Space provides mobile clients for iOS and Android. To send push notifications to mobile clients, your Space On-Premises instance must use a proxy server from JetBrains. The proxy server delivers the notifications to end users through the corresponding Apple and Google services.

https://on-premise.service.jetbrains.space
.On the navigation bar, click
Administration and choose Notifications Proxy.
Choose JetBrains Proxy and click Save.
Update Space On-Premises
Space On-Premises supports only forward updates – it's not possible to downgrade to previous versions. The update procedure requires downtime because of the data migration. Make sure to plan the maintenance window and inform your users about the upcoming activities.
Migrate from Space On-Premises EAP
If you used Space On-Premises 2021.1 EAP, it may be possible to transfer all your data to a new 2022.1 Beta installation. If the PostgreSQL and MinIO/S3-compatible storage are configured as external services in your EAP installation, you can simply continue using them.
Note that in 2022.1 Beta, you must configure Elasticsearch and Redis as external services. We don't recommend that you transfer their data: Redis stores only temporary data, while the Elasticsearch index can be easily recreated.
Configure Elasticsearch and Redis as external services.
Reuse the corresponding database and storage configuration from your old
values.yaml
in the new one.Stop the Space 2021.1 EAP instance and deploy the 2022.1 version with the updated
values.yaml
.Wait for Space to finish the internal database migration and initialize.
