Starting MetaDefender Core 4.20.0, the centralized/shared database deployment model is supported (all MetaDefender Core instances share the same database), along with traditional standalone database mode (every MetaDefender Core instance has its own database to manage).

• Standalone database mode: same installation instructions described at 2.2.2. MetaDefender Core 4.19.x

• Shared database mode: 10.6. Shared Database Among MetaDefender Core Instances
