# Docker Compose [Recommended] ### Requirements - Docker - Docker Compose ### 1. Create a new directory Create a new directory to host the compose file and env variables. This is where you’ll place the `docker-compose.yml` file from the next step and the environment variables. For example you could make a new directory called "hoarder-app" with the following command: ``` mkdir hoarder-app ``` ### 2. Download the compose file Download the docker compose file provided [here](https://github.com/hoarder-app/hoarder/blob/main/docker/docker-compose.yml) directly into your new directory. ``` wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/hoarder-app/hoarder/main/docker/docker-compose.yml ``` ### 3. Populate the environment variables To configure the app, create a `.env` file in the directory and add this minimal env file: ``` HOARDER_VERSION=release NEXTAUTH_SECRET=super_random_string MEILI_MASTER_KEY=another_random_string NEXTAUTH_URL=http://localhost:3000 ``` You **should** change the random strings. You can use `openssl rand -base64 36` in a seperate terminal window to generate the random strings. You should also change the `NEXTAUTH_URL` variable to point to your server address. Using `HOARDER_VERSION=release` will pull the latest stable version. You might want to pin the version instead to control the upgrades (e.g. `HOARDER_VERSION=0.10.0`). Check the latest versions [here](https://github.com/hoarder-app/hoarder/pkgs/container/hoarder-web). Persistent storage and the wiring between the different services is already taken care of in the docker compose file. Keep in mind that every time you change the `.env` file, you'll need to re-run `docker compose up`. If you want more config params, check the config documentation [here](/configuration). ### 4. Setup OpenAI To enable automatic tagging, you'll need to configure OpenAI. This is optional though but highly recommended. - Follow [OpenAI's help](https://help.openai.com/en/articles/4936850-where-do-i-find-my-openai-api-key) to get an API key. - Add the OpenAI API key to the env file: ``` OPENAI_API_KEY=<key> ``` Learn more about the costs of using openai [here](/openai). <details> <summary>If you want to use Ollama (https://ollama.com/) instead for local inference.</summary> **Note:** The quality of the tags you'll get will depend on the quality of the model you choose. - Make sure ollama is running. - Set the `OLLAMA_BASE_URL` env variable to the address of the ollama API. - Set `INFERENCE_TEXT_MODEL` to the model you want to use for text inference in ollama (for example: `llama3.1`) - Set `INFERENCE_IMAGE_MODEL` to the model you want to use for image inference in ollama (for example: `llava`) - Make sure that you `ollama pull`-ed the models that you want to use. - You might want to tune the `INFERENCE_CONTEXT_LENGTH` as the default is quite small. The larger the value, the better the quality of the tags, but the more expensive the inference will be. </details> ### 5. Start the service Start the service by running: ``` docker compose up -d ``` Then visit `http://localhost:3000` and you should be greeted with the Sign In page. ### [Optional] 6. Enable optional features Check the [configuration docs](/configuration) for extra features to enable such as full page archival, full page screenshots, inference languages, etc. ### [Optional] 7. Setup quick sharing extensions Go to the [quick sharing page](/quick-sharing) to install the mobile apps and the browser extensions. Those will help you hoard things faster! ## Updating Updating hoarder will depend on what you used for the `HOARDER_VERSION` env variable. - If you pinned the app to a specific version, bump the version and re-run `docker compose up -d`. This should pull the new version for you. - If you used `HOARDER_VERSION=release`, you'll need to force docker to pull the latest version by running `docker compose up --pull always -d`.
