Minimum Requirements:

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

• Storage: 1GB+

• Persistent storage. When using Docker, it’s important to configure a persistent volume or a bind mount to ensure the data isn’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

⚠️ 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.

Docker can also be used to deploy Alby Hub on other Cloud Options. Tough we rather you choose to support us by having a subscription to Alby Cloud, so that we can continue the Hub's development.

You can also install Alby Hub directly on Linux without using docker, as a standalone app. Check it here. This is a good choice for linux users not familiar with docker.

Here is an external guide from Stacker.news made by a member of their staff, about how to install the Hub in linux using docker. Only for advanced users. This was last updated on 10-September-2025, and this guide has no affiliations with Alby. Use responsibly.
