Flare is quick to deploy—you only need a PostgreSQL server and Docker. Choose one of these options:
Click the button below to deploy Flare on Railway. Once deployed, just set your authentication secret and create your admin account.
-
Set up a PostgreSQL server and create a database for Flare.
-
Create a
.envfile with the following required variables:DATABASE_URL=postgresql://user:pass@host:5432/dbname # (replace with your PostgreSQL connection string) NEXTAUTH_SECRET=your-secure-secret-key # (generate with `openssl rand -base64 32`) NEXTAUTH_URL=http://localhost:3000 # (or wherever you deploy Flare)
-
Run Flare using the pre-built Docker image:
docker run -d \ --name flare \ -p 3000:3000 \ --env-file .env \ -v ./uploads:/app/uploads \ flintsh/flare:latest
-
Open http://localhost:3000 to complete the setup and create your admin account.
The official Docker image is available on Docker Hub and GitHub Container Registry as flintsh/flare.
