Quick start

At the end of this page, the dmsforall stack runs on your machine or server, and you can open the web interface in a browser.

Steps

Get the deployment files and go to the project folder.

git clone https://github.com/selfhostr/dmsforall.git && cd dmsforall

Optional for a first try on localhost: create the settings file. The defaults work without it.
Terminal window
```
cp .env.example .env
```
Start the stack. The images are pulled from ghcr.io/selfhostr.
Terminal window
```
docker compose up -d
```
Open http://localhost:8080 in a browser.

Result: the sign-in page loads. The first start generates the database passwords once, runs the migrations, then starts the API and the worker.

For a server reachable from the Internet, set a domain and HTTPS: see Install dmsforall on a server.
