# openplate, self-hosted: one stateless container and nothing else.

# docker compose -f compose.yml up -d
#
# Keep this file in a folder that lasts, like ~/openplate above, and run every
# command from there. Compose treats the compose file's OWN directory as the
# project directory, so a `.env` beside this file is the one it reads, not one
# somewhere further up. A folder under /tmp can be emptied by a reboot.
#
# Only http://localhost:3000 on this machine counts as a secure page. Opened
# from another device at http://<this machine's address>:3000, the diary and
# plate photos work, but installing the app, offline use and the one-click
# OpenRouter connect do not. See the HTTPS section of apps/app/docs/self-hosting.md.
#
# There is no database and no secret to configure. The server stores nothing:
# your diary lives in your browser's own IndexedDB on the device you use it
# from (see apps/app/.adr/0006-the-app-server-holds-no-accounts.md). Back up with the
# in-app JSON export, not with a database dump.
