MyWay
User guide

Installation (self-host)

Set up on PostgreSQL with Docker Compose.

MyWay consists of a Next.js app + a PostgreSQL database. The fastest path is bringing it up with Docker Compose.

Requirements

  • Docker & Docker Compose
  • A server with at least 1 GB RAM
  • A domain (optional, recommended for HTTPS)

Steps

  1. 1Download the license package and extract it on your server.
  2. 2Fill the .env file based on the example (below).
  3. 3Start with docker compose up -d.
  4. 4Run the database migrations.
  5. 5Open in a browser and create the first admin account.
# .env (example)
DATABASE_URL=postgres://myway:secret@db:5432/myway
REPO_DRIVER=postgres
NODE_ENV=production
SESSION_SECRET=change-me-at-least-32-characters-long
PUBLIC_URL=https://app.example.com

# start
docker compose up -d
docker compose exec app pnpm db:migrate

In production SESSION_SECRET must be at least 32 characters and REPO_DRIVER=postgres is required; otherwise the app halts on boot for safety.
