Deploy on PikaPods Directly PIKAPODS starts at a minimum of $1.5 per month.
Additionally, PIKAPODS will provide all new users with an experience credit of $5 upon sign-up! And 20% of the fees generated from deploying to PIKAPODS will be donated to Blinko. Come and support us!
Prerequisites
Docker is required to run Blinko.Visit Docker to install Docker.
Security Warning : You must change the NEXTAUTH_SECRET value in all installation methods below. Using the default value poses a significant security risk. Generate a strong random string for production use.
Example of generating a secure secret:
openssl rand -base64 32 # or node -e "console.log(require('crypto').randomBytes(32).toString('base64'))" Bash Script Installation The install.sh use docker run to deploy Blinko.If you feel it’s not safe, you can use the other method below.
curl -o install.sh https://raw.githubusercontent.com/blinko-space/blinko/main/install.sh && bash install.sh Docker Installation
Must mount the data volume of postgres or your data will be lost
Replace NEXTAUTH_SECRET=my_ultra_secure_nextauth_secret with your own secure secret key
Step 1: Create the custom Docker network
docker network create blinko-network
Step 2: Run the PostgreSQL database container
docker run -d \ --name blinko-postgres \ --network blinko-network \ -v < your-pat h > :/var/lib/postgresql/data \ -p 5435:5432 \ -e POSTGRES_DB=postgres \ -e POSTGRES_USER=postgres \ -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=mysecretpassword \ -e TZ=Asia/Shanghai \ --restart always \ postgres:14
Step 3: Run the Blinko website container
docker run -d \ --name blinko-website \ --network blinko-network \ -v < your-pat h > :/app/.blinko \ -p 1111:1111 \ -e NODE_ENV=production \ -e NEXTAUTH_URL=http://localhost:1111 \ -e NEXT_PUBLIC_BASE_URL=http://localhost:1111 \ -e NEXTAUTH_SECRET=my_ultra_secure_nextauth_secret \ -e DATABASE_URL=postgresql://postgres:mysecretpassword@blinko-postgres:5432/postgres \ --restart always \ blinkospace/blinko:latest Docker Compose Installation To deploy Blinko using docker compose, create a docker-compose.yml file with the following configuration:
Step 1: Create docker-compose.yml
networks : blinko-network : driver : bridge services : blinko-website : image : blinkospace/blinko:latest container_name : blinko-website environment : NODE_ENV : production # NEXTAUTH_URL: http://localhost:1111 # IMPORTANT: If you want to use sso, you must set NEXTAUTH_URL to your own domain # NEXT_PUBLIC_BASE_URL: http://localhost:1111 # IMPORTANT: Replace this with your own secure secret key! NEXTAUTH_SECRET : my_ultra_secure_nextauth_secret DATABASE_URL : postgresql://postgres:mysecretpassword@postgres:5432/postgres depends_on : postgres : condition : service_healthy # Make sure you have enough permissions. # volumes: # - ~/your-name/.blinko:/app/.blinko restart : always logging : options : max-size : "10m" max-file : "3" ports : - 1111:1111 healthcheck : test : [ "CMD" , "curl" , "-f" , "http://blinko-website:1111/" ] interval : 30s timeout : 10s retries : 5 start_period : 30s networks : - blinko-network postgres : image : postgres:14 container_name : blinko-postgres restart : always ports : - 5435:5432 environment : POSTGRES_DB : postgres POSTGRES_USER : postgres POSTGRES_PASSWORD : mysecretpassword TZ : Asia/Shanghai # Persisting container data # Make sure you have enough permissions. # volumes: # - ~/your-name/.db:/var/lib/postgresql/data healthcheck : test : [ "CMD" , "pg_isready" , "-U" , "postgres" , "-d" , "postgres" ] interval : 5s timeout : 10s retries : 5 networks : - blinko-network
Step 2: Execute docker-compose command to initiate Blinko
docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml up -d
