Docker Installation	Install and run homepage from Docker

Using docker compose:

version: "3.3"
services:
    homepage:
        image: ghcr.io/benphelps/homepage:latest
        container_name: homepage
        ports:
            - 3000:3000
        volumes:
            - /path/to/config:/app/config # Make sure your local config directory exists
            - /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock # (optional) For docker integrations

Running as non-root

By default, the Homepage container runs as root. Homepage also supports running your container as non-root via the standard PUID and PGID environment variables. When using these variables, make sure that any volumes mounted in to the container have the correct ownership and permissions set.

Using the docker socket directly is not the recommended method of integration and requires either running homepage as root or that the user be part of the docker group

In the docker compose example below, the environment variables $PUID and $PGID are set in a .env file.

version: "3.3"
services:
    homepage:
        image: ghcr.io/benphelps/homepage:latest
        container_name: homepage
        ports:
            - 3000:3000
        volumes:
            - /path/to/config:/app/config # Make sure your local config directory exists
            - /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock # (optional) For docker integrations, see alternative methods
        environment:
            PUID: $PUID
            PGID: $PGID

With Docker Run

docker run -p 3000:3000 -v /path/to/config:/app/config -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock ghcr.io/benphelps/homepage:latest

Using Environment Secrets

You can also include environment variables in your config files to protect sensitive information. Note:

• Environment variables must start with HOMEPAGE_VAR_ or HOMEPAGE_FILE_
• The value of env var HOMEPAGE_VAR_XXX will replace {{HOMEPAGE_VAR_XXX}} in any config
• The value of env var HOMEPAGE_FILE_XXX must be a file path, the contents of which will be used to replace {{HOMEPAGE_FILE_XXX}} in any config
