1. Download Misskey

1. Clone Misskey repository's master branch.

   git clone -b master git://github.com/misskey-dev/misskey.git

2. Move to misskey directory.

   cd misskey

3. Checkout to the latest release tag.

   git checkout master

2. Configure Misskey

Create configuration files with following:

cd .config
cp example.yml default.yml
cp docker_example.env docker.env

default.yml

Edit this file the same as non-Docker environment.
However hostname of Postgresql, Redis and Elasticsearch are not localhost, they are set in docker-compose.yml.
The following is default hostname:

Service	Hostname
Postgresql	db
Redis	redis
Elasticsearch	es

docker.env

Configure Postgresql in this file.
The minimum required settings are:

name	Description
POSTGRES_PASSWORD	Password
POSTGRES_USER	Username
POSTGRES_DB	Database name

3. Configure Docker

Edit docker-compose.yml.

4. Build Misskey

Build misskey with the following:

docker-compose build

5. Init DB

docker-compose run --rm web yarn run init

6. That is it.

Well done! Now you have an environment to run Misskey.

Launch normally

Just docker-compose up -d. GLHF!
