Quick Start

This is the fastest path from zero to running. Make sure you've met the requirements first.

Install

git clone https://github.com/silent-suite/silentsuite.io.git
cd silentsuite.io/self-host
chmod +x install.sh update.sh verify.sh
./install.sh

The install.sh script will:

1. Check that Docker and Docker Compose are installed.
2. Prompt you for your domain name.
3. Generate strong random passwords for PostgreSQL and Etebase.
4. Write the completed .env file.
5. Copy the database initialization scripts into ./init-db/.
6. Pull all Docker images.
7. Start the stack with docker compose up -d.

Verify

Once the script completes, open https://your-domain in a browser. The first request may take a moment while Caddy provisions TLS certificates.

To verify everything is running:

./verify.sh

All services should show Up with a health status of healthy.

Next Steps

• Configuration -- understand and customise your environment variables.
• Admin Dashboard -- manage your instance from the browser.
• Updating -- keep your instance up to date.
