There are different options to set up and run OBI:

- [Set up OBI on Kubernetes with Helm](kubernetes-helm/)
- [Set up OBI on Kubernetes](kubernetes/)
- [Set up OBI on Docker](docker/)
- [Set up OBI as a standalone process](standalone/)

For information on configuration options and data export modes, see the
[Configure OBI](../configure/) documentation.

> [!NOTE]
>
> If you will be using OBI to generate traces, please make sure you've read our
> documentation section on configuring the
> [Routes Decorator](../configure/routes-decorator/). Since OBI is
> auto-instrumenting your application without any modifications to your code,
> the service names and URLs that are automatically assigned might not be what
> you expect.
