Working With Clones

When you create a Dub, you can enable two modes for running clones:

  1. Server Clones – Run on the Dub’s replication server:

    • In Baseshift Cloud, they run on managed infrastructure provided by Baseshift.
    • In Self-Hosted deployments, they run on the replication server in your environment - your data never leaves your network.

    Server clones are fully managed, scale easily, and automatically shut down when idle - so you don’t end up with stray copies.
    See the Server Clones guide for more information.

  2. Local Clones (Docker Snapshots) – Provided as Docker images stored in an ECR repository in your account. These can be pulled and run in any of your environments - including Kubernetes clusters or your local machine.
    See the Local Clones guide for more information.

By default, both modes are enabled. To change this, go to the Dub's configuration page.
