What Is DJI FlightHub 2 On-Premises?

DJI FlightHub 2 is an enterprise drone operations management platform designed for coordinating DJI drone fleets. It enables program managers to monitor live flights, schedule and automate recurrent missions (including missions run through DJI Dock systems), plan flights, manage users, and analyze captured data across their entire operation.

FlightHub 2 On-Premises is the self-hosted version of DJI’s cloud-based software. Instead of using DJI’s servers, where application data is stored in the same way platforms like Facebook or Instagram operate, you deploy the entire system within your own private network. This gives organizations full control over data privacy, storage, system security, and network access.

How Do You Set Up FlightHub 2 On-Premises?

Setting up FlightHub 2 On-Premises is not a simple, plug-and-play process. At a high level, deployment involves the following steps:

1. Purchase a FlightHub 2 On-Premises license.
2. Choose the hardware or hosting environment where the service will run (physical server, virtual machine, or private cloud).
3. Install the required server software, such as Linux Ubuntu Server and Docker.
4. Extract the installation package and deploy the FlightHub 2 services.
5. Upload offline map tiles and elevation data for use in your private environment.
6. Configure your internal network to allow authorized computers to access your FlightHub 2 instance.
7. Integrate supported hardware, such as DJI Docks or fleet aircraft, with your server.

While Terrestrial Imaging can guide you through the deployment process, we recommend that organizations have an experienced IT professional involved. Ongoing server administration, updates, networking, storage management, and security, will be required after setup.

Recommended Server Specifications

If you plan to host FlightHub 2 On-Premises on your own physical hardware, the following minimum specifications are recommended:

• CPU: 8 cores
• Memory: 32 GB RAM
• Storage: 1 TB data disk
• Network: Minimum 100 Mbps bandwidth per DJI Dock connected to the system

These requirements help ensure stable performance, especially when handling multiple live video streams, map data, mission logs, and automated workflows.

FlightHub 2 On-Premises gives organizations the control and privacy of running DJI’s fleet management software entirely within their own network, but it comes with additional responsibilities: careful planning, hardware selection, network configuration, and ongoing IT maintenance. If your operation requires strict data governance or must comply with internal security policies, an on-prem deployment is a strong option — but it is not a trivial one.
