Quick start

Requirements

Docker or Podman, a persistent volume for /app/data, and a browser. bun is only needed for local development.

Run

docker compose up -d
# open http://localhost:3000

The included docker-compose.yml builds the app target from the repo’s Dockerfile, runs it on port 3000, and mounts the database on a named volume. To use a published image instead, set image: ghcr.io/galene-finance/galene:latest in the compose file (legacy :app-latest still published during #157 cutover).

Note

The first account on a server is always the admin. Optionally load demo data on signup.

Where to go next

• Getting an account — first account, adding users, sign-in, two-factor.
• API tokens — for scripts and MCP clients.
• Docker & Compose — images, volumes, upgrades, troubleshooting.
• Podman — rootless, SELinux, podman-compose, quadlets.
• From source — run the repo directly with bun.
• Reverse proxy — TLS in front of the app.
• Backups — keep a copy of the database off the data volume.
• Configuration — the environment variables the app reads.
