Install

Requirements

• Linux on amd64 or arm64 (macOS works for trying it out)
• Docker with the Compose plugin. The installer offers to install it if it’s missing.
• For HTTPS: a domain, plus a second one for uploaded files (files. by default), both pointing at the server, and ports 80 and 443 open

Install

curl -fsSL https://github.com/Jafoson/Barynt/releases/latest/download/install.sh | sh

The installer asks for your domain and the one for uploaded files. Leave the domain empty to run Barynt locally on http://localhost:3000.

Prefer to read it first? curl -fsSLO …/install.sh && less install.sh && sh install.sh. If the download breaks off halfway, nothing runs: the script only acts in its last line.

Without questions

For cloud-init or a provisioning script, pass the answers as options:

curl -fsSL https://github.com/Jafoson/Barynt/releases/latest/download/install.sh \
  | sh -s -- --domain issues.example.com --yes

Option	What it does
--domain NAME	Domain for HTTPS, e.g. issues.example.com
--files-domain NAME	Domain for uploaded files, files.<domain> by default
--version X.Y.Z	Install this release instead of the newest
--dir DIR	Installation directory, /opt/barynt by default
--install-docker	Install Docker if it’s missing, without asking
--yes	Don’t ask, take the defaults
--dry-run	Show what would happen, change nothing

What it sets up

In /opt/barynt: docker-compose.yml, Caddyfile, an example.env for reference and your .env (readable only by you) with a generated AUTH_SECRET, database password and storage key. The installer also puts itself on your path as barynt.

The database password in .env can’t be changed after the first start: the database was created with it. Keep the file safe, barynt backup includes it.

First sign-in

Open your domain and create the first account. It becomes the administrator. Then the barynt command takes care of everything else.
