# Celum partner docs

- [Where do I start?](https://partner.celum.io/appliance/get-celum-image.md): How to get Celum: request the free 30-day trial with the form on celum.io, get the appliance image, deploy it and take the first steps.
- [Deploy the appliance on vSphere (OVA)](https://partner.celum.io/appliance/deploy-ova.md): Run the Celum appliance on vCenter from its OVA, configured in the vSphere deploy wizard.
- [Deploy the appliance from a qcow2](https://partner.celum.io/appliance/deploy-qcow2.md): Run the Celum appliance on Proxmox VE or libvirt/KVM from its qcow2 disk image, configured with cloud-init.
- [First steps after the deploy](https://partner.celum.io/first-steps/after-deploy.md): What to do once the appliance has come up: check it, trust its CA, sign in to Celum, and set up updates and backups.
- [The appliance start page](https://partner.celum.io/first-steps/start-page.md): What the start page at home.DOMAIN shows and what you can do there: open the applications, check health and backups, and install Celum releases.
- [Experimental: PoC nodes and cluster](https://partner.celum.io/first-steps/experimental-poc.md): The start page's PoC tab: Talos node VMs on your vCenter and a Kubernetes cluster on them, built through the appliance's own Omni and ready for Celum to onboard.
- [appliance.yaml reference](https://partner.celum.io/appliance/appliance-yaml.md): Every setting in the appliance's configuration file: what it does, its default, and the rules the appliance checks before it starts anything.
