Launch via Single-File Docker Compose or Modular Wizard
No git clone, signup, docker login, or license key needed. Use the single-file docker-compose.yml (Portainer / Dockge / Unraid / CLI) or the modular ./setup.sh bundle if reusing existing Postgres/Tika/SearXNG.
# Option A — Single-file Docker Compose (Portainer, Dockge, Unraid or CLI): mkdir entide && cd entide curl -fsSLO https://entide.app/install/docker-compose.yml printf 'APP_ENCRYPTION_KEY="%s" INITIAL_ADMIN_EMAIL="admin@homelab.local" INITIAL_ADMIN_PASSWORD="ChangeMe123!" ' "$(openssl rand -hex 32)" > .env docker compose up -d # Option B — Modular bundle with interactive ./setup.sh (reuses existing DB/Tika/SearXNG): curl -fsSL https://entide.app/install/entide-homelab.tar.gz | tar -xz && ./setup.sh && docker compose up -d
