# Deployment Overview
Paperclip supports three deployment configurations, from zero-friction local to internet-facing production.
## Deployment Modes
| Mode | Auth | Best For |
|------|------|----------|
| `local_trusted` | No login required | Single-operator local machine |
| `authenticated` + `private` | Login required | Private network (Tailscale, VPN, LAN) |
| `authenticated` + `public` | Login required | Internet-facing cloud deployment |
## Quick Comparison
### Local Trusted (Default)
- Loopback-only host binding (localhost)
- No human login flow
- Fastest local startup
- Best for: solo development and experimentation
### Authenticated + Private
- Login required via Better Auth
- Binds to all interfaces for network access
- Auto base URL mode (lower friction)
- Best for: team access over Tailscale or local network
### Authenticated + Public
- Login required
- Explicit public URL required
- Stricter security checks
- Best for: cloud hosting, internet-facing deployment
## Choosing a Mode
- **Just trying Paperclip?** Use `local_trusted` (the default)
- **Sharing with a team on private network?** Use `authenticated` + `private`
- **Deploying to the cloud?** Use `authenticated` + `public`
Set the mode during onboarding:
```sh
pnpm paperclip onboard
```
Or update it later:
```sh
pnpm paperclip configure --section server
```
