Misskey Setup and Installation Guide

We thank you for your interest in setup your Misskey server! This guide describes how to install and setup Misskey.

1. Install dependencies

There is two ways to install and setup dependencies:

WAY 1) Setup with Docker 🐳

Ensure that the working directory is the repository root directory.

To create misskey image:

sudo docker build -t misskey ./docker

To run misskey:

sudo docker run --rm -i -t -p $PORT:80 -v $(pwd):/root/misskey -v $DBPATH:/data/db misskey

where $PORT is the port used to access Misskey Web from host browser and $DBPATH is the path of MongoDB database on the host for data persistence.

ex: sudo docker run --rm -i -t -p 80:80 -v $(pwd):/root/misskey -v /data/db:/data/db misskey

If you want to run misskey in production mode, add --env NODE_ENV=production like this:

sudo docker run --rm -i -t -p 80:80 -v $(pwd):/root/misskey -v /data/db:/data/db --env NODE_ENV=production misskey

Note that $(pwd) is the working directory.

WAY 2) Setup manually

Please install and setup following dependencies:

Dependencies 📦

Please install these softwares.

• Node.js and npm
• MongoDB
• Redis
• GraphicsMagick

Optional

• Elasticsearch - used to provide searching feature instead of MongoDB

2. Domains

Misskey requires two domains called the primary domain and the secondary domain.

• The primary domain is used to provide main service of Misskey.
• The secondary domain is used to avoid vulnerabilities such as XSS.

Ensure that the secondary domain is not a subdomain of the primary domain.

Subdomains

Note that Misskey uses following subdomains:

• api.{primary domain}
• auth.{primary domain}
• about.{primary domain}
• dev.{primary domain}
• file.{secondary domain}

3. reCAPTCHA tokens

Misskey requires reCAPTCHA tokens. Please visit https://www.google.com/recaptcha/intro/ and generate keys.

4. Install Misskey

There is two ways to install Misskey:

WAY 1) Using built code (recommended)

We have official release of Misskey. The built code is automatically pushed to https://github.com/syuilo/misskey/tree/release after the CI test succeeds.

1. git clone -b release git://github.com/syuilo/misskey.git
2. cd misskey
3. npm install

Update

1. git fetch
2. git reset --hard origin/release
3. npm install

WAY 2) Using source code

If you want to build Misskey manually, you can do it via the build command after download the source code of Misskey and install dependencies:

1. git clone -b master git://github.com/syuilo/misskey.git
2. cd misskey
3. npm install
4. npm run build

Update

1. git pull origin master
2. npm install
3. npm run build

5. That is it.
