Databuddy can be self-hosted using Docker Compose. The repo includes two compose files:
| File | Purpose |
|---|---|
docker-compose.yaml |
Development only — starts infrastructure (Postgres, ClickHouse, Redis) for local dev |
docker-compose.selfhost.yml |
Production / self-hosting — full stack with all application services from GHCR images |
# 1. Configure environment
cp .env.example .env
# Edit .env — at minimum set BETTER_AUTH_SECRET and BETTER_AUTH_URL
# 2. Start everything
docker compose -f docker-compose.selfhost.yml up -d
# 3. Initialize databases (first run only)
docker compose -f docker-compose.selfhost.yml exec api bun run db:push
docker compose -f docker-compose.selfhost.yml exec api bun run clickhouse:initServices started:
- API →
localhost:3001 - Basket (event ingestion) →
localhost:4000 - Links (short links) →
localhost:2500 - Uptime monitoring is optional — uncomment in the compose file and set QStash keys.
All ports are configurable via env vars (API_PORT, BASKET_PORT, etc.). See the compose file comments for the full env var reference.
