How to Deploy PowerSyncPro: Server, DNS and Ports

PowerSyncPro runs on a single Windows server, and one server can manage several customer environments. You choose from three build options.

The Azure Marketplace image is a pre-built VM with Windows Server, SQL Server, IIS and PowerSyncPro installed. A guided script runs at first login and sets up your certificate. Deployment takes about 15 minutes.

The automated installation script builds an on-premises server in 15 to 30 minutes. One PowerShell script on Windows Server 2019 or later installs SQL Express, IIS, .NET 8 and the reverse proxy, then configures your certificate. A manual install gives full control over SQL placement, service accounts and certificates for large or custom builds.

For PowerSyncPro Migration Agent connectivity, it needs three things. Create a DNS A record such as psp.company.com. Add a trusted certificate, either your own PFX or a free Let's Encrypt certificate that renews automatically. Open TCP 443 inbound so devices can reach the agent from the office, home or a client site. TCP 80 is only needed for Let's Encrypt validation. TCP 5001 is only needed for the Remote Sync, Proxy and Password Sync agents, and you should limit it to trusted IP addresses. Check the latest prerequisites guide before you start.

Always check the latest documentation for full details.
