Click the link below to get started

Minimum Requirements:

  • Memory: 512MB (1GB recommended) + 1GB Swap (2GB recommended)

  • Storage: 1GB+

  • Persistent storage. When using Docker, itโ€™s important to configure a persistent volume or a bind mount to ensure the data isnโ€™t lost when the container restarts. *

(*) Our docker examples contain the volume. You can manually download the docker-compose.yml file and then run: docker compose up . Here is the command to run the Hub on docker:

docker run -v ~/.local/share/albyhub:/data -e WORK_DIR='/data' -p 8080:8080 --pull always ghcr.io/getalby/hub:latest

โš ๏ธ We recommend having a solid understanding of Docker management before attempting to host your Alby Hub in a Docker container. If you're not experienced with Docker, please avoid this method, as it could lead to potential loss of funds.
