Installing Iceshrimp with Docker

This guide is based on docker compose/Docker Compose v2, but docker-compose/Docker Compose v1 should work as well. Docker 20.10+ is required for building your own images because of BuildKit usage, and Docker 20.10 users need to enable BuildKit first, or upgrade to latest Docker.

Preparations

Getting needed files

Run git clone https://iceshrimp.dev/iceshrimp/iceshrimp, but if you are not planning on building your own image, just grabbing .config and docs/examples/docker-compose.yml from the repo will suffice.

docker-compose.yml

First, run cp docs/examples/docker-compose.yml docker-compose.yml, and edit docker-compose.yml if

  • you want to build the image yourself or choose a different tag, and/or
  • you want a search engine for better search performance.

.config

Run cp .config/docker_example.env .config/docker.env, and edit .config/docker.env and fill it with the database credentials you want.
Run cp .config/example-docker.yml .config/default.yml, and edit .config/default.yml

  • Replace example database credentials with the ones you entered in .config/docker.env
  • Change other configuration
  • Optionally, set up the search backend, if you have chosen to set one up.

Installation and first start

Choose a method, whether you chose to build the image yourself or not.
Note: Ctrl-C will shut down Iceshrimp gracefully.
