Self-host
Install
Start a new Comma instance on one machine.
This guide is a placeholder. Complete steps, including access from other machines, are coming soon.
Before you start
Install Docker Engine with Compose v2.24 or later, and have your model provider's details at hand.
First start
Copy the example settings, fill in your model provider, then start the stack:
cp .env.example .env
docker compose up -d --build
The first start builds each service and creates the instance's secrets, so it takes a
while. Without a model provider in .env, add a private model after you
sign in.
Sign in
Open http://localhost:8080 and request a sign-in code with your email
address. The code arrives in the local inbox at http://localhost:8025.
By default, an instance is reachable from this machine only. Serving it to others needs HTTPS and a mail server; that guide is coming soon.
