## Step-by-Step Installation
### 1. Clone the Repository
There are two ways to get Oikos running. **Option A** (pre-built image) is recommended for most users — no clone required. **Option B** (build from source) is for contributors or if you want to run a custom version.
Download the Oikos source code to your machine:
---
### Option A — Pre-built Image (Recommended)
A ready-to-use Docker image is published to the GitHub Container Registry on every release. You only need two files.
#### 1. Download the Compose File and Example Config
```bash
curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ulsklyc/oikos/main/docker-compose.yml
curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ulsklyc/oikos/main/.env.example
```
#### 2. Configure Environment Variables
```bash
cp .env.example .env
```
Open `.env` and set at minimum the two required secrets:
```bash
SESSION_SECRET=<YOUR-SECRET>
DB_ENCRYPTION_KEY=<YOUR-SECRET>
```
Generate a secure value for each:
```bash
openssl rand -hex 32
```
Run this command **twice** and paste each result. See [Environment Variables](#environment-variables) for all options.
#### 3. Start the Container
```bash
docker compose up -d
```
Docker pulls `ghcr.io/ulsklyc/oikos:latest` automatically. No build step, no Node.js installation needed.
Continue with [Step 4 — Verify](#4-verify-the-container-is-running).
---
### Option B — Build from Source
#### 1. Clone the Repository
```bash
git clone https://github.com/ulsklyc/oikos.git
cd oikos
```
### 2. Configure Environment Variables
Copy the example environment file and edit it with your own values:
#### 2. Configure Environment Variables
```bash
cp .env.example .env
```
Open `.env` in a text editor and change at least the two secret values - see the [Environment Variables](#environment-variables) section for full details. The critical ones:
Open `.env` and set the two required secrets (see above). Generate them with `openssl rand -hex 32`.
```bash
# Generate secure values for these:
SESSION_SECRET=<YOUR-SECRET>
DB_ENCRYPTION_KEY=<YOUR-SECRET>
```
Generate a secure random string:
```bash
openssl rand -hex 32
```
Run this command **twice** - once for `SESSION_SECRET` and once for `DB_ENCRYPTION_KEY`. Paste each result into your `.env` file.
### 3. Build and Start the Container
#### 3. Build and Start the Container
```bash
docker compose up -d --build
```
- `--build` builds the Docker image from the Dockerfile (compiles SQLCipher dependencies, installs npm packages).
- `-d` runs the container in the background (detached mode).
- `--build` compiles the Docker image locally (SQLCipher dependencies, npm packages).
- `-d` runs the container in the background.
The first build takes a few minutes. Subsequent starts are much faster.

## Updates
### Standard Update
### Option A — Pre-built Image
Pull the latest published image and restart:
```bash
docker compose pull
docker compose up -d
```
No rebuild needed. The database volume persists across updates.

### When to Stop First
If the [CHANGELOG](../CHANGELOG.md) mentions database migrations or breaking changes, stop the container before updating:
```bash
# Option A (pre-built)
docker compose pull
docker compose down
docker compose up -d
# Option B (build from source)

<summary>SQLCipher build fails during Docker build</summary>
> **Tip**: If you hit build issues, switch to the pre-built image (Option A above) — it ships with SQLCipher already compiled and requires no local build step.
The Dockerfile installs these build dependencies: `python3`, `make`, `g++`, `libsqlcipher-dev`. If the build fails, ensure your Docker installation is up to date and has internet access to pull packages.
On resource-constrained systems, the native compilation may run out of memory. Ensure at least 1 GB of RAM is available during the build.
