Setup

Dependencies 📦

Please install these softwares.

• Node.js and npm

• Elasticsearch - used to provide searching feature instead of MongoDB

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}

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
