# External Installation Methods

These methods install Calagopus through a specific NAS, homelab platform, or hosting provider's own app system, bundling the Panel and Wings together, instead of following the generic [Docker](/docs/panel/installation/docker), [Package Manager](/docs/panel/installation/pkgmanager), or [Binary](/docs/panel/installation/binary) installation guides.

::: info Single-container setups
Game servers are CPU- and RAM-intensive workloads that compete with the Panel and Wings for resources in these single-container setups. They are well suited for homelab use or small deployments. For larger production hosting, consider running Wings on a dedicated machine connected to a standalone Panel instead, see the [main installation guide](/docs/panel/installation).
