## Errata Notice
|
|
|
|
> [!NOTE]
|
|
> amd64 builds are only available for `backend` and `bonfire` images currently. More are planned in future.
|
|
|
|
> [!IMPORTANT]
|
|
> If you deployed Revolt before [2022-10-29](https://github.com/minio/docs/issues/624#issuecomment-1296608406), you may have to tag the `minio` image release if it's configured in "fs" mode.
|
|
> ```yml

|
|
> ```bash
|
|
> # for stock Redis and older KeyDB images:
|
|

## Quick Start
|
|
|
|
This repository provides reasonable defaults, allowing you to get started on your local machine with ease.
|
|
|
|
> [!WARNING]
|
|
> This is not recommended for production usage - see [below](#Setup) for the full guide.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
git clone https://github.com/revoltchat/self-hosted revolt
|
|
cd revolt
|
|
cp .env.example .env
|
|
docker-compose up -d
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then simply go to http://local.revolt.chat.
|
|
|
|
# Setup
|
|
|
|
Prerequisites before continuing:
|
|
|
|
- [Docker](https://www.docker.com/)
|
|
- [Docker Compose](https://docs.docker.com/compose/)
|
|
- [Git](https://git-scm.com/)
|
|
|
|
Clone this repository and open it:
|
|
```bash
|
|
git clone https://github.com/revoltchat/self-hosted revolt
|
|
cd revolt
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
> [!WARNING]
|
|
> The default configuration is intended for testing and only works on your local machine. If you want to deploy to a remote server, you need to edit the URLs in the `.env` file. Please see the section below on [configuring a custom domain](#custom-domain). \
|
|
> If you get a network error when trying to log in, **double check your configuration prior to opening an issue.**
|
|
|
|
Copy the `.env` file:
|
|
```bash
|
|
cp .env.example .env
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Edit the `.env` file according to your requirements.
|
|
|
|
Then bring up Revolt:
|
|
```bash
|
|
docker-compose up -d
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Updating Revolt
|
|
|
|
Before updating Revolt, check the errata at the top for important information and check if there are any new required environment variables now present in the `.env` file.
|
|
|
|
To update Revolt, first pull the latest copy of this repository to ensure you have the latest tags:
|
|
```bash
|
|
git pull
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then pull all the latest images:
|
|
```bash
|
|
docker-compose pull
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Now you can restart your services:
|
|
```bash
|
|
docker-compose up -d
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Additional Notes
|
|
|
|
### Custom domain
|
|
|
|
To configure a custom domain, you should be able to do a search and replace on `local.revolt.chat` in the `.env` file, like so:
|
|
```diff
|
|
# .env
|
|
- REVOLT_APP_URL=http://local.revolt.chat
|
|
+ REVOLT_APP_URL=http://my.domain
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You will also want to change the protocols to enable HTTPS:
|
|
```diff
|
|
# .env
|
|
- REVOLT_APP_URL=http://my.domain
|
|
+ REVOLT_APP_URL=https://my.domain
|
|
|
|
- REVOLT_EXTERNAL_WS_URL=ws://my.domain/ws
|
|
+ REVOLT_EXTERNAL_WS_URL=wss://my.domain/ws
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
In the case of `HOSTNAME`, you must strip the protocol prefix:
|
|
```diff
|
|
# .env
|
|
- HOSTNAME=https://my.domain
|
|
+ HOSTNAME=my.domain
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Putting Revolt behind another reverse proxy (or on a non-standard port)
|
|
|
|
Override the port definitions on `caddy`:
|
|
```yml
|
|
# docker-compose.yml
|
|
services:
|
|
caddy:
|
|
ports:
|
|
- "1234:80"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
> [!WARNING]
|
|
> This file is not Git ignored, it may be sufficient to use an override file, but that will not remove port 80 / 443 allocations.
|
|
|
|
Update the hostname used by the web server:
|
|
```diff
|
|
# .env
|
|
- HOSTNAME=http://local.revolt.chat
|
|
+ HOSTNAME=:80
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can now reverse proxy to http://localhost:1234.
|
|
|
|
### Expose database
|
|
|
|
You can insecurely expose the database by adding a port definition:
|
|
```yml
|
|
# docker-compose.override.yml
|
|
services:
|
|
database:
|
|
ports:
|
|
- "27017:27017"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Mongo compatibility
|
|
|
|
Older processors may not support the latest MongoDB version. You may pin to MongoDB 4.4 as such:
|
|
```yml
|
|
# docker-compose.override.yml
|
|
services:
|
|
database:
|
|
image: mongo:4.4
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Making your instance invite-only
|
|
|
|
Enable invite-only mode by setting `REVOLT_INVITE_ONLY` in `.env` to `1`.
|
|
|
|
Create an invite:
|
|
```bash
|
|
# drop into mongo shell
|
|
docker-compose exec database mongosh
|
|
|
|
# create the invite
|
|
use revolt
|
|
db.invites.insertOne({ _id: "enter_an_invite_code_here" })
|
|
```
