Requirements#

• Chevereto license (paid edition)

  • License panel (opens new window) manage your existing licenses

• VPS

  • make, unzip, curl, git

  • SSH access

• A hostname (domain) pointing to the VPS

One‑click Docker installation#

1
curl -fsSL https://get.docker.com -o get-docker.sh
2
sudo sh get-docker.sh

Clone chevereto/docker#

1
git clone https://github.com/chevereto/docker.git
2
cd docker

Configure Cron#

This step creates a Cron file /etc/cron.d/chevereto which will run background jobs for all Chevereto instances on the server.

1
make cron

Create the proxy#

This step creates a proxy service to handle incoming web traffic to the server. It also provisions automatic HTTPS certificates.

Pass your email address in the EMAIL_HTTPS option.

1
make proxy [email protected]

Build Chevereto#

This step builds the container image for the Chevereto application.

1
make image

Setup namespace#

Create a namespace (opens new window) for each Chevereto instance you want to deploy.

For example, create the example namespace for the VPS, with the hostname img.chevereto.dev (replace this with the domain you actually want to use):

1
make namespace NAMESPACE=example HOSTNAME=img.chevereto.dev

Start Chevereto#

Run make spawn and pass the NAMESPACE option to create and start an instance.

1
make spawn NAMESPACE=example

🎉 Congratulations, Chevereto is now up and running.

To create more instances, repeat the steps in Setup namespace for each additional site you want to deploy.
