Installation

In this article, you will be guided through hosting PocketBlocks on your own server:

Manual

• Download the binary of your OS and arch from Release Page;

• Run ./pocketblocks serve;

• Access PocketBlocks App and create the first admin user.

Docker

• Get the docker-compose.yml file;

• Run docker compose up -d;

• Access PocketBlocks App and create the first admin user.

Fly.io

• Get the fly.toml file;

• Edit the app-name field;

• Run flyctl launch;

• Run flyctl vol create data;

• Run flyctl deploy;

• Access https://<your-app-name>.fly.dev and create the first admin user.

Remember that PocketBlocks uses Openblocks as the frontend. The pb_public dir is already set up but you can use the pbl_public dir and all files from that directory will be served at <serverAddress>/pbl/ path.
