Self-hosting with docker-compose.

Prerequisites

• Install git, zip

• Install docker and docker-compose

• Install Deno

• Install Supabase CLI (optional)

Instructions for Linux OSes:

Fedora/CentOS

sudo yum install -y git zip yum-utils

# Install and setup Docker for non-root user
yes | sudo  yum-config-manager --add-repo https://download.docker.com/linux/centos/docker-ce.repo
yes | sudo  yum install -y docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io docker-buildx-plugin docker-compose-plugin
sudo systemctl enable --now docker
sudo usermod -aG docker $USER
newgrp docker

# Install Deno

Self-hosting with Docker Compose

Download source code

Clone the code using git:

git clone https://github.com/space-operator/flow-backend

Go to docker folder:

cd flow-backend/docker

Every commands in this tutorial must be run in flow-backend/docker folder.

Generate secrets and configurations

Our Docker Compose setup needs 2 configuration files, both are located in flow-backend/docker folder:

• .env : dotenv file containing environment variables

• .config.toml: configuration file used by flow-server.

Template for these files are in env.example and flow-server-config.toml .

Generate secrets and config files for your server:

./gen-secrets.ts

Generated secrets are saved in .env and .config.toml files.

The script use env.example and flow-server-config.toml as templates, you can edit them before running the script to customize values.

Start and wait for containers to be ready:

docker compose up -d --wait

Port binding:

• Supabase: port 8000

• Flow server: port 8080

• PostgreSQL: port 5432

To see Supabase Dashboard:

• Open .env file to see DASHBOARD_USERNAME and DASHBOARD_PASSWORD values:

cat .env | grep DASHBOARD

• Visit http://localhost:8000/ .

Export your data and use them in self-hosted server
