Ubuntu
This tutorial shows how to install Buddy self-hosted on Ubuntu.
Warning
All commands listed in the article must be run as root.
Installing Docker Engine & Docker Compose
Buddy requires Docker Engine and Docker Compose to run. Connect to your server and follow the installation instructions:
Installing Buddy
Connect to the server and start installation
Connect to the server using SSH and run this command to download the Docker image and install Buddy:
bashcurl -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 ubuntu server. Run this command:
bash
export HTTP_PROXY="http://proxyIp:proxyPort"

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.
- Provide the details of your first workspace.
