Quick installation with Docker Compose
Docker Compose is the recommended installation method for most self-hosted PlexSub deployments.
Before you begin
You need Docker Engine with Docker Compose, a persistent directory for PlexSub data, and access to the media services you plan to connect.
Start the stack
- Download the official PlexSub Compose files and environment template.
- Set the required values in
.env, especially the application URL and encryption key. - Start PlexSub with
docker compose up -d. - Open the configured URL and complete the first administrator setup.
Keep the .env file and persistent volumes private. Do not use floating database image tags in production.
Next step
After the first login, follow the administrator walkthrough to connect services and prepare access for your community.
