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.
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/yourselfhosted/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
Administration Account Initialization
No user accounts are created by default.
Once you navigate to the app in your browser, you'll get automatically redirected to the registration URL in order to create an account.
Note that the first account created will always be an administrator account.
