Self-hosting Slash with Docker
Slash is designed for self-hosting through Docker. No Docker expertise is required to launch your own instance. Just basic understanding of command line and networking.
Requirements
The only requirement is a server with Docker installed.
Docker Run
To deploy Slash using docker run, just one command is needed:
docker run -d --name slash --publish 5231:5231 --volume ~/.slash/:/var/opt/slash yourselfhosted/slash:latest
This will start Slash in the background and expose it on port 5231. Data is stored in ~/.slash/. You can customize the port and data directory.
Upgrade
To upgrade Slash to latest version, stop and remove the old container first:
docker stop slash && docker rm slash
It's recommended but optional to backup database:
cp -r ~/.slash/slash_prod.db ~/.slash/slash_prod.db.bak
Then pull the latest image:
docker pull yourselfhosted/slash:latest
Finally, restart Slash by following the steps in Docker Run.
Self-hosting Slash with Docker Compose
Requirements
The only requirement is a server with Docker installed.
Docker Compose Run
Assume that docker compose is deployed in the /opt/slash directory
mkdir -p /opt/slash && cd /opt/slash
curl -#LO https://github.com/boojack/slash/raw/main/docker-compose.yml
docker compose up -d
This will start Slash in the background and expose it on port 5231. Data is stored in Docker Volume slash_slash. You can customize the port and backup your volume.
Upgrade
cd /opt/slash
docker compose pull
docker compose up -d
