Getting Started
This documentation intends to explain how to get penpot application and run it locally.
The simplest approach is using docker and docker-compose.
Install Docker
Skip this section if you already have docker installed, up and running.
You can install docker and its dependencies from your distribution repository with:
sudo apt-get install docker docker-compose
Or follow installation instructions from docker.com; (for Debian https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/debian/).
Ensure that the docker is started and optionally enable it to start with the system:
sudo systemctl start docker
sudo systemctl enable docker
And finally, add your user to the docker group:
sudo usermod -aG docker $USER
This will make use of the docker without sudo command all the time.
NOTE: probably you will need to re-login again to make this change take effect.
Start penpot application
You can create it from scratch or take a base from the penpot repository
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/penpot/penpot/develop/docker/images/docker-compose.yaml
And then:
docker-compose -p penpot -f docker-compose.yaml up
The docker compose file contains the essential configuration for getting the application running, and many essential configurations already explained in the comments. All other configuration options are explained in configuration guide.
