Setting up
Get the platform up and running using Docker with a small startup script on your local computer. If you are looking to deploy the platform on a server different than your local machine, please check the Deployment section.
We collect anonymous usage data to improve the product. You can opt out by setting ENABLE_TELEMETRY=false before running the startup script.
curl -o docker-compose.yaml https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dograh-hq/dograh/main/docker-compose.yaml && curl -o start_docker.sh https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dograh-hq/dograh/main/scripts/start_docker.sh && chmod +x start_docker.sh && ./start_docker.sh
Using an AI coding agent? If you work in Claude Code or Codex, install the official Dograh setup skill and let your agent handle installation, configuration, and troubleshooting for you. It orients to your OS, picks the right deploy path, runs Dograh’s own setup scripts, and verifies the result. Install it once:/plugin marketplace add dograh-hq/dograh-plugins
/plugin install dograh@dograh
/dograh-setup). See dograh-hq/dograh-plugins for details. Next Steps
