## Install

1. Docker with the Compose plugin ([source](https://github.com/Termix-SSH/Termix/blob/7b7b17e31f1327edd5e86be2b047f3100c8cd57d/docker/docker-compose.yml))

   ```text
   A host with Docker and the Docker Compose plugin. This entry runs from a compose file.
   ```

2. Save the compose file as docker-compose.yml ([source](https://github.com/Termix-SSH/Termix/blob/7b7b17e31f1327edd5e86be2b047f3100c8cd57d/docker/docker-compose.yml))

   ```yaml
   services:
     termix:
       image: ghcr.io/termix-ssh/termix:latest
       container_name: termix
       restart: unless-stopped
       ports:
         - "8080:8080"
       volumes:
         - termix-data:/app/data
       environment:
         PORT: "8080"
         # Multi-instance deployments should point every backend at the same
         # Redis. Without it, collaboration rooms keep their single-instance
         # in-memory fallback.
         # REDIS_URL: "redis://redis:6379"
         # TERMIX_REDIS_PREFIX: "termix:collab"

         # Hardened deployments can require keys from environment variables or
         # Docker secrets mounted through JWT_SECRET_FILE, DATABASE_KEY_FILE,
         # ENCRYPTION_KEY_FILE and INTERNAL_AUTH_TOKEN_FILE.
         # TERMIX_REQUIRE_EXTERNAL_SECRETS: "true"
         # Trusted reverse-proxy authentication is disabled by default. When
         # enabled, do not expose this container directly to untrusted clients.
         # TRUSTED_PROXY_AUTH_ENABLED: "true"
         # List the address your authenticating proxy connects from, as this
         # container sees it (for a proxy container on termix-net, its IP there).
         # Keep it narrow: published ports can reach the container from the
         # Docker gateway, so do not trust whole private ranges.
         # TRUSTED_PROXY_AUTH_TRUSTED_PROXIES: "172.20.0.10"
         # TRUSTED_PROXY_AUTH_ROLE_MAP: '{"operators":["user"]}'

   volumes:
     termix-data:

## Gotchas and maintenance

### Gotchas

- Some images use the latest tag or no tag: Images without a pinned version: termix: ghcr.io/termix-ssh/termix:latest. A later pull can get a different version. ([source](https://github.com/Termix-SSH/Termix/blob/7b7b17e31f1327edd5e86be2b047f3100c8cd57d/docker/docker-compose.yml), checked 2026-10-22)
- The compose file publishes host ports: Host ports: 8080 (termix). A port without a host address listens on all host network interfaces. ([source](https://github.com/Termix-SSH/Termix/blob/7b7b17e31f1327edd5e86be2b047f3100c8cd57d/docker/docker-compose.yml), checked 2026-10-22)
