# Docker installation

This guide does not cover how to install docker. Please use [docker's website](https://www.docker.com/get-started/) in order to find the best solution for you. If you already have docker installed, continue reading.

## Pre-built images

This is the recommended way by pulling images from the [repository](https://git.dou.bet/iamdoubz/drawit/packages/drawit).

### Docker-Compose

1. Copy the contents of `.env.example` and paste them into a file called `.env`
2. Change the variables to match your environment
3. Be sure to generate a long and secure SESSION_SECRET. My favorite is: `openssl rand -hex 32`
4. Download the `docker-compose.yml` file and run `sudo docker compose up -d`
5. DrawIt will be running on localhost on port 3000 by default

### Building your own images

If you really want to build your own image, you probably already know what you are doing. Best of luck!
