+# Self hosting docker guide
+
+So you want to create a bot? Let's get you started!
+
+## Requirements (not covered)
+- Webserver (Apache2, nginx, etc.)
+- SSL Certificates (letsencrypt, zerossl, etc)
+- A sub-domain to host maxun i.e. maxun.my.domain
+- Docker
+- Docker compose
+- Probably others...
+
+## Guide
+For this guide, we assume that before you start, you have a dedicated docker folder to house config files and everything else we need for persistence between docker container reboots and updates. The path in this guide is `/home/$USER/Docker/maxun`.
+1. Change directory into your docker folder `cd /home/$USER/Docker/`
+2. Create a new directory for maxun and all the required sub-folders for our docker services `mkdir -p maxun/{db,minio,redis}`
+3. Change directory to enter the newly created folder `cd maxun`
+4. Create an environment file to save your variables `nano .env` with the following contents:
+```
+NODE_ENV=production
+JWT_SECRET=openssl rand -base64 48
+DB_NAME=maxun
+DB_USER=postgres
+DB_PASSWORD=openssl rand -base64 24
+DB_HOST=postgres
+DB_PORT=5432
+ENCRYPTION_KEY=openssl rand -base64 64
+SESSION_SECRET=openssl rand -base64 48
+MINIO_ENDPOINT=minio
+MINIO_PORT=9000
+MINIO_CONSOLE_PORT=9001
+MINIO_ACCESS_KEY=minio
+MINIO_SECRET_KEY=openssl rand -base64 24
+REDIS_HOST=maxun-redis
+REDIS_PORT=6379
+REDIS_PASSWORD=
+BACKEND_PORT=8080
+FRONTEND_PORT=5173
+BACKEND_URL=https://maxun.my.domain
+PUBLIC_URL=https://maxun.my.domain
+VITE_BACKEND_URL=https://maxun.my.domain
+VITE_PUBLIC_URL=https://maxun.my.domain
+GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID=
+GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET=
+GOOGLE_REDIRECT_URI=
+AIRTABLE_CLIENT_ID=
+AIRTABLE_REDIRECT_URI=
+MAXUN_TELEMETRY=true
+```
+5. Ctrl + x, Y, Enter will save your changes
+6. Please be sure to READ this file and change the variables to match your environment!!! i.e. BACKEND_PORT=30000
+7. Create a file for docker compose `nano docker-compose.yml` with the following contents:
+```yml
+services:
+  postgres:
+    image: postgres:17
+    container_name: maxun-postgres
+    mem_limit: 512M
+    environment:
+      POSTGRES_USER: ${DB_USER}
+      POSTGRES_PASSWORD: ${DB_PASSWORD}
+      POSTGRES_DB: ${DB_NAME}
+    volumes:
+      - /home/$USER/Docker/maxun/db:/var/lib/postgresql/data
+    healthcheck:
+      test: ["CMD-SHELL", "pg_isready -U postgres"]
+      interval: 10s
+      timeout: 5s
+      retries: 5
+
+  redis:
+    image: docker.io/library/redis:7
+    container_name: maxun-redis

+  minio:
+    image: minio/minio
+    container_name: maxun-minio
+    mem_limit: 512M
+    environment:
+      MINIO_ROOT_USER: ${MINIO_ACCESS_KEY}
+      MINIO_ROOT_PASSWORD: ${MINIO_SECRET_KEY}
+    command: server /data --console-address :${MINIO_CONSOLE_PORT:-9001}
+    volumes:
+      - /home/$USER/Docker/maxun/minio:/data
+
+  backend:
+    image: getmaxun/maxun-backend:latest
+    container_name: maxun-backend
+    ports:
+      - "127.0.0.1:${BACKEND_PORT:-8080}:${BACKEND_PORT:-8080}"
+    env_file: .env
+    environment:
+      BACKEND_URL: ${BACKEND_URL}
+      PLAYWRIGHT_BROWSERS_PATH: /ms-playwright
+      PLAYWRIGHT_SKIP_BROWSER_DOWNLOAD: 0

+    shm_size: '2gb'
+    mem_limit: 4g
+    depends_on:
+      - postgres
+      - minio
+    volumes:
+      - /var/run/dbus:/var/run/dbus
+
+  frontend:
+    image: getmaxun/maxun-frontend:latest
+    container_name: maxun-frontend
+    mem_limit: 512M
+    ports:
+      - "127.0.0.1:${FRONTEND_PORT:-5173}:5173"
+    env_file: .env
+    environment:
+      PUBLIC_URL: ${PUBLIC_URL}
+      BACKEND_URL: ${BACKEND_URL}
+    depends_on:
+      - backend
+```
+8. Ctrl + x, Y, Enter will save your changes
+9. This particular setup is "production ready" meaning that maxun is only accessible from localhost. You must configure a reverse proxy to access it!
+10. Start maxun `sudo docker compose up -d` or `sudo docker-compose up -d`
+11. Wait 30 seconds for everything to come up
+12. Access your maxun instance at http://localhost:5173 if using defaults
+
