Best installation intructions

Thanks to @tjerman

Create a clean empty directory. change into that directory and make these two files

.env file containing


########################################################################################################################
# docker-compose supports environment variable interpolation/substitution in compose configuration file
# (more info: https://docs.docker.com/compose/environment-variables)

########################################################################################################################
# General settings
DOMAIN=localhost:18091
VERSION=2023.9

########################################################################################################################
# Database connection
DB_DSN=postgres://corteza:corteza@db:5432/corteza?sslmode=disable

########################################################################################################################
# Server settings

# Running all-in-one and serving web applications directly from server container
HTTP_WEBAPP_ENABLED=true

# Disabled, we do not need detailed persistent logging of actions in local env
ACTIONLOG_ENABLED=false

########################################################################################################################
# SMTP (mail sending) settings

# Point this to your local or external SMTP server if you want to send emails.
# In most cases, Corteza can detect that SMTP is disabled and skips over sending emails without an error
#SMTP_HOST=smtp-server.example.tld:587
#SMTP_USER=postmaster@smtp-server.example.tld
#SMTP_PASS=this-is-your-smtp-password
#SMTP_FROM='"Demo" <info@your-demo.example.tld>'

Second file

A plain text file called docker-compose.yaml file containing


#version: '3.5'

services:
  server:
    image: cortezaproject/corteza:${VERSION}
    restart: always
    env_file: [ .env ]
 # platform: linux/amd64
    depends_on: [ db ]
    ports: [ "127.0.0.1:18091:80" ]
    volumes:
      - "./dd/server:/data"

  db:
    # PostgreSQL Database
    # See https://hub.docker.com/_/postgres for details
    # Support for postgres 13, 14 and 15 is available in the latest version of Corteza
    image: postgres:15
      #    networks: [ internal ]
    restart: always
    # platform: linux/amd64
    healthcheck: { test: ["CMD-SHELL", "pg_isready -U corteza"], interval: 10s, timeout: 5s, retries: 5 }
    volumes:
      - "dbdata:/var/lib/postgresql/data"
    environment:
      # Warning: these are values that are only used on 1st start
      #          if you want to change it later, you need to do that
      #          manually inside db container
      POSTGRES_USER:     corteza
      POSTGRES_PASSWORD: corteza

volumes:

Makes sure docker is running on your machine

Then from the console prompt type in docker-compose up -d

When the installation is done use your browser to navigate to :

127.0.0.1:18091

**or **

http://localhost:18091

Hello, thanks for your reply. Best installation intructions not work.
it says This site can’t be reached on

127.0.0.1:18091

**or **

http://localhost:18091

Is the port taken? Perhaps try changing it.
Are you running this on a server or on your local machine?

I’m not sure I understand you; so now everything works fine or?
