Linux

Djehooty can be installed in several ways on Linux: via a standalone executable or a Docker image.

Standalone executable

The fastest way to install Djehooty without dependencies is to download the latest version of the djehooty-standalone executable. This binary includes both djehooty-backend and djehooty-frontend and automatically opens your web browser at http://localhost:3000

./djehooty-standalone --userdir ~/Djehooty

CTRL+C allows you to stop Djehooty.

Docker installation

Djehooty is also distributed as a Docker image, which includes both djehooty-backend and djehooty-frontend.

Quick start​

mkdir ~/Djehooty
cd ~/Djehooty

docker run --rm \
  --user $(id -u):$(id -g) \
  --name djehooty \
  -p 8181:8181 \
  -p 3000:3000 \
  -v ".:/app/data" \
  djehooty/djehooty:latest

This example creates the ~/Djehooty folder and then starts Djehooty, which will be accessible at http://localhost:3000

CTRL+C allows you to stop Djehooty.

Your user must be part of the docker group to avoid using sudo for each docker command. You can run the following command in a terminal:

sudo usermod -aG docker $USER

Docker compose​

To install and run Djehooty with docker compose, follow the same procedure as for docker run to create the Djehooty folder in your home directory.

Then, go to your folder:

cd ~/Djehooty

Next, create a docker-compose.yml file in this folder with the following content:

version: '3.3'
services:
  djehooty:
    image: djehooty/djehooty:latest
    ports:
      - '8181:8181'
      - '3000:3000'
    volumes:
      - .:/app/data
    user: "${UID}:${GID}"
    restart: unless-stopped

Then start Djehooty with

UID=$(id -u) GID=$(id -g) docker-compose up -d

and stop the application with

docker-compose down
