Hint
If you’re planning to run heavy workloads on your instance, we recommend assigning at least 8GB of RAM. Read more about system requirements of Buddy self-hosted.

Installing Buddy

With Docker running, run this command to download the Docker image and install Buddy:

bash
curl -sSL https://get.buddy.works | sh && buddy install
$$
Hint
By default, Buddy uses ports 80, 443, and 22 for communication. If these ports are not available, the installer asks to provide alternative ports.
Tip
By default, Buddy installs in the HOME directory. You can change the storage path for databases, repositories, and settings using the CLI.
Tip
If you're connecting to the server through a proxy, add the HTTP_PROXY environment variable on the Linux server. Run this command: bash export HTTP_PROXY="http://proxyIp:proxyPort"

Setting up your workspace

  1. Use the URL provided in the summary to access Buddy self-hosted.

Hint
By default, Buddy self-hosted uses a self-signed SSL certificate. Because of that, you can get a security warning from your browser when you access the instance for the first time. There’s nothing to worry about! You can safely open the address.
  1. Provide the details of your first workspace.
Success
Congratulations! You have successfully installed and configured Buddy on your own server. Check out the Quickstart section for tips on getting started.
