# Self Hosting

●

Published 2022-02-15

We love to host things myself, to control it or to tweak it if nothing else atleast monitor it myself. Isn't it one of the benefits of OSS. So naturally we want our users to have that freedom. That is why here is the guide on how to do it properly.

# Method 1: Directly running the server

Clone the project

  git clone https://github.com/Arpan-206/DevArmyKnife.git

Go to the project directory

  cd DevArmyKnife

Install dependencies

  yarn install

Build for production and start the server.

  yarn run build
  yarn run start 

And, Voila!

# Method 2: Using Docker

Info

This should be obvious but still, you would need Docker installed on your system for this.

# Way 1: Pulling the image from DockerHub

Pull the image from DockerHub.

  docker pull arpanpandey/dev-army-knife

Run the image as a container.

As a background process

docker run --publish 8000:3000 -d  arpanpandey/dev-army-knife:latest

With outputs in the terminal

docker run --publish 8000:3000  arpanpandey/dev-army-knife:latest

Voila! We are done.

# Way 2: Building the Docker Image

Cloning the repository and changing directory.

  git clone https://github.com/Arpan-206/DevArmyKnife.git
  cd DevArmyKnife

Building the image.

  docker build . --tag dev-army-knife

Run the image as a container.

As a background process

docker run --publish 8000:3000 -d  dev-army-knife:latest

With outputs in the terminal

docker run --publish 8000:3000  dev-army-knife:latest

Voila! We are done.
