This repository includes some helpful scripts and templates for setting up and managing a Snikket service.
It is relatively new, so if you use it feel free to give us feedback!
Before you begin, you need to follow Step 1 (DNS) and Step 2 (Docker) from the Quickstart tutorial.
Instead of Step 3 in the quickstart, you can follow the instructions here.
Don't forget to run the commands as root (log in as root or use sudo).
cd /opt
git clone https://github.com/snikket-im/snikket-selfhosted snikket
An automatic configuration script is included:
cd snikket
./scripts/init.sh
./scripts/start.sh
Check that your Snikket login page loads at http://<your domain>/
(it will redirect to HTTPS once certificates are available).
To create your first account, create an invitation with:
./scripts/new-invite.sh --admin --group default
Open the link in a browser. If you are on a desktop, you can use tap the "Not on mobile?" button to display a QR code that can be scanned with your mobile device.
During the account creation process you will choose a username and
password. Your Snikket address will be <your username>@<your domain>.
You can use this address and password to log into the web administration
page for the service.
