Manual Installation
Learn how to manually install Dokploy on your server.
If you wish to customize the Dokploy installation on your server, you can modify several enviroment variables:
- PORT - Ideal for avoiding conflicts with other services.
- TRAEFIK_SSL_PORT - Set to another port if you want to use a different port for SSL.
- TRAEFIK_PORT - Set to another port if you want to use a different port for Traefik.
- ADVERTISE_ADDR - Set to another IP address if you want to use a different IP address for Swarm.
- RELEASE_TAG - Set to a dokploy docker hub tag(latest, canary, feature, etc)
Installation Script
Here is a Bash script for installing Dokploy on a Linux server. Make sure you run this as root on a Linux environment that is not a container, and ensure ports 80 and 443 are free.
#!/bin/bash
# Ensure the script is run as root
if [ "$(id -u)" != "0" ]; then
echo "This script must be run as root" >&2
exit 1
fi
# Check for Linux OS (not macOS or inside a Docker container)
if [ "$(uname)" = "Darwin" ]; then
echo "This script must be run on Linux" >&2
exit 1
fi
if [ -f /.dockerenv ]; then
echo "This script must be run on a native Linux host" >&2
exit 1
fi
# Check for occupied ports
if ss -tulnp | grep ':80 ' >/dev/null; then
echo "Error: Port 80 is already in use" >&2
exit 1
fi
if ss -tulnp | grep ':443 ' >/dev/null; then
echo "Error: Port 443 is already in use" >&2
exit 1
fi
# Function to check if a command exists
command_exists() {
command -v "$@" > /dev/null 2>&1
}
# Install Docker if it is not installed
if command_exists docker; then
echo "Docker already installed"
else
curl -sSL https://get.docker.com | sh
fi
# Initialize Docker Swarm
docker swarm leave --force 2>/dev/null
get_ip() {
# Try to get IPv4
local ipv4=$(curl -4s https://ifconfig.io 2>/dev/null)
if [ -n "$ipv4" ]; then
echo "$ipv4"
else
# Try to get IPv6
local ipv6=$(curl -6s https://ifconfig.io 2>/dev/null)
if [ -n "$ipv6" ]; then
echo "$ipv6"
fi
fi
}

docker swarm init --advertise-addr $advertise_addr
if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then

This script includes checks for common pitfalls, installs Docker if it’s not already installed, initializes a Docker Swarm, creates a network, and then pulls and deploys Dokploy. After the script runs, it provides a success message and instructions for accessing Dokploy.
This structured format clearly lays out the prerequisites, steps, and post-installation information, making it user-friendly and accessible for those performing manual installations.
Customize install
Customize swarm advertise address
The --advertise-addr parameter in the docker swarm init command specifies the IP address or interface that the Docker Swarm manager node should advertise to other nodes in the Swarm. This address is used by other nodes to communicate with the manager.
By default, this script uses the external IP address of the server, obtained using the curl -s ifconfig.me
command. However, you might need to customize this address based on your network configuration, especially if your server has multiple network interfaces or if you're setting up Swarm in a private network.
To customize the --advertise-addr parameter, replace the line: advertise_addr=$(curl -s ifconfig.me)
with your desired IP address or interface, for example:
advertise_addr="192.168.1.100"
:warning: This IP address should be accessible to all nodes that will join the Swarm.
Existing Docker swarm
If you already have a Docker swarm running on your server and you want to use dokploy, you can use the following command to join it:
docker network create --driver overlay --attachable dokploy-network
mkdir -p /etc/dokploy
chmod -R 777 /etc/dokploy
docker pull dokploy/dokploy:latest
