Title: Docker Run Description: Use docker run when you are an operator doing a quick test. Canonical: https://docs.openpo.st/installation/docker-run Source: [https://docs.openpo.st/installation/docker-run](https://docs.openpo.st/installation/docker-run) # Docker Run Use `docker run` when you are an operator doing a quick test. For persistent long-running installs, prefer [Docker Compose](https://docs.openpo.st/installation/docker-compose). The published image supports `linux/amd64` only. The explicit `--platform` below prevents the host architecture from being mistaken for published support. See [Container Image Support and Assurance](https://docs.openpo.st/operations/container-image). ```bash docker volume create openpost_data docker run -d \ --platform linux/amd64 \ --name openpost \ --restart unless-stopped \ -p 8080:8080 \ --mount source=openpost_data,target=/data \ --env-file .env \ -e OPENPOST_DATABASE_PATH=/data/db/openpost.db \ -e OPENPOST_MEDIA_PATH=/data/media \ -e OPENPOST_MEDIA_URL=http://localhost:8080/media \ ghcr.io/getopenpost/openpost:latest ``` Use the same `.env` guidance as the Compose setup.
