🆒Install AFFiNE with Docker

This guide assumes you already have an environment setup running docker.

Currently there are two main versions:

  1. AFFiNE Alpha - The latest version in active development. affine-self-hosted:latest

  2. AFFiNE Pre-Alpha - Previous release which is no longer developed, but offers different functionality. affine-self-hosted:pre-alpha

Simply swap out the Docker image for which version you require, the following instructions default to the latest image.

Installing AFFiNE using Docker

  1. Pull the latest AFFiNE image. This may take some time depending on your network connection.

docker pull ghcr.io/toeverything/affine-self-hosted:latest

Ensure this step is completed successfully before continuing (you can rerun this command if you are unsure).

  1. Next we will run the AFFiNE project in Docker.

docker run -it --name affine -d -v YOUR_PATH:/app/data -p 3000:3000 ghcr.io/toeverything/affine-self-hosted:latest

  • --name Optional - this makes it convenient for using and interacting with your Docker container - such as docker restart affine.

  • -v Optional - allows you to mount your data outside of Docker to your local machine. Remember to set YOUR_PATH to the directory of your choice.

  • -p Required - this sets the port for where AFFiNE is running and listening, we use the default 3000 if you need to change this only change the first number e.g. [YOUR_PORT]:3000

  • Finally, the image id is the version of AFFiNE you wish to deploy. Following this guide, it would be the same as the previous step - so ghcr.io/toeverything/affine-self-hosted:latest

  1. You can confirm that AFFiNE is running successfully by using the command

docker ps

This command shows a list of running containers - in the list you should be able to find AFFiNE.

  • Now you can access AFFiNE from your browser via:

    • If you are running Docker on your local machine and using the default settings you can access via port 3000 through localhost: http://localhost:3000/

    • Otherwise you will need to know the {IP} of the machine using Docker and the {PORT} that AFFiNE is using.

    • Bear in mind that some features require a secure environment to work, which means https and wss connections through a reverse proxy setup. For more support you may wish to find our community page: AFFiNE Community
