To get started, here are some quick links:
2021-05-31 11:25:57 +00:00
- Using [docker and docker-compose](@/docs/install/docker.md). This
sets up everything: all prerequisites, both docspell components and
a container running the [consumedir.sh](@/docs/tools/consumedir.md)
2020-07-27 20:13:22 +00:00
script to import files that are dropped in a folder.
2021-05-31 11:25:57 +00:00
- [Download, Unpack and Run](@/docs/install/download_run.md). This
option is also very quick, but you need to check the
2020-07-27 20:13:22 +00:00
[prerequisites](@/docs/install/prereq.md) yourself. Database is
already setup, but you'd need to setup SOLR (when using fulltext
search) and install some programs for the joex component. This
applies to the `zip` and `deb` files. The files can be downloaded
2021-05-31 11:25:57 +00:00
from the [release
page](https://github.com/eikek/docspell/releases/latest).
- via the [nix package manager](@/docs/install/nix.md) and/or as a
[NixOS module](@/docs/install/nix.md#nixos). If you use nix/nixos,
you know what to do. The linked page contains some examples.
- [Unraid](https://www.unraid.net/): There are user provided [notes
and unraid
templates](https://github.com/vakilando/unraid-docker-templates)
which can get you started. Thanks for providing these!

Every [component](@/docs/intro/_index.md#components) (restserver, joex,
2021-01-25 07:50:46 +00:00
consumedir) can run on different machines and multiple times. Most of
the time running all on one machine is sufficient and also for
simplicity, the docker-compose setup reflects this variant.
2021-05-31 11:25:57 +00:00
While there are many different ways to run docspell, at some point all
call docspell binaries. These accept one argument: a [config
file](@/docs/configure/_index.md). If this is not given, the default
is used, which gets you started on a single machine, but it is very
likely you want to change these to match your use-case/setup.
{% infobubble(mode="info", title="⚠ Please note") %}
Please have a look at the [configuration
page](@/docs/configure/_index.md) page, before making docspell
publicly available. By default, everyone can create an account. This
is great for trying out and using it in an internal network. But when
opened up to the outside, it is recommended to lock this down.
