Docker Compose
If you wish to run Ente via Docker Compose from source, do the following:
Requirements
Check out the requirements page to get started.
Step 1: Clone the repository
Clone the repository. Change into the server/config directory of the
repository, where the Compose file for running the cluster is present.
Run the following command for the same:
git clone https://github.com/ente-io/ente
cd ente/server/config
Step 2: Populate the configuration file and environment variables
In order to run the cluster, you will have to provide environment variable values.
Copy the configuration files for modification by the following command inside
server/config directory of the repository.
This allows you to modify configuration without having to face hassle while pulling in latest changes.
# Inside the cloned repository's directory (usually `ente`)
cd server/config
cp example.env .env
cp example.yaml museum.yaml
Change the values present in .env file along with museum.yaml file
accordingly.
::: tip
Make sure to enter the correct values for the database and object storage.
You should consider generating values for JWT and encryption keys for emails if you intend to use for long-term needs.
You can do by running the following command inside ente/server, assuming you
cloned the repository to ente:
# Change into the ente/server
cd ente/server
# Generate secrets
go run tools/gen-random-keys/main.go
:::
Step 3: Start the cluster
Start the cluster by running the following command:
docker compose up --build
This builds Museum and web applications based on the Dockerfile and starts the containers needed for Ente.
