"Step-by-step tutorial on how to effortlessly set up and run Formbricks via Docker. Explore the quick deployment process with Docker-Compose, learn how to update Formbricks, and troubleshoot common issues. Ideal for those looking for a hassle-free Formbricks experience",
};
#### Self-Hosting
# Advanced Setup
Quickly set up and start using Formbricks with our [official Docker image](https://github.com/formbricks/formbricks/pkgs/container/formbricks) that we've already built for you.
The pre-built image is ready-to-run, and it only requires minimal configuration on your part. It's as easy as downloading the Docker image and firing up the container.
### Requirements
Ensure `docker` & `docker compose` are installed on your server/system. Both are typically included with Docker utilities, like Docker Desktop and Rancher Desktop.
<Note>
`docker compose` without the hyphen is now the primary method of using docker-compose, according to the
Docker documentation.
</Note>
## Start
1. **Create a New Directory for Formbricks**
Open a terminal and create a new directory for Formbricks, then navigate into this new directory:
<Col>
<CodeGroup title="Create and cd into the new directory">
```bash
mkdir formbricks-quickstart && cd formbricks-quickstart
```
</CodeGroup>
</Col>
2. **Download the Docker-Compose File**
Download the docker-compose file directly from the Formbricks repository:
<Col>
<CodeGroup title="Download docker compose file">
```bash
curl -o docker-compose.yml https://raw.githubusercontent.com/formbricks/formbricks/main/docker/docker-compose.yml
```
</CodeGroup>
</Col>
3. **Generate NextAuth Secret**
Next, you need to generate a NextAuth secret. This will be used for session signing and encryption. The `sed` command below generates a random string using `openssl`, then replaces the `NEXTAUTH_SECRET:` placeholder in the `docker-compose.yml` file with this generated secret:
<Col>
<CodeGroup title="Generate NextAuth Secret">
```bash
sed -i "/NEXTAUTH_SECRET:$/s/NEXTAUTH_SECRET:.*/NEXTAUTH_SECRET: $(openssl rand -hex 32)/" docker-compose.yml
```
</CodeGroup>
</Col>
4. **Generate Encryption Key**
Next, you need to generate an Encryption Key. This will be used for authenticating and verifying 2 Factor Authentication. The `sed` command below generates a random string using `openssl`, then replaces the `ENCRYPTION_KEY:` placeholder in the `docker-compose.yml` file with this generated secret:
<Col>
<CodeGroup title="Generate Encryption Key">
```bash
sed -i "/ENCRYPTION_KEY:$/s/ENCRYPTION_KEY:.*/ENCRYPTION_KEY: $(openssl rand -hex 32)/" docker-compose.yml
```
</CodeGroup>
</Col>
5. **Start the Docker Setup**
You're now ready to start the Formbricks Docker setup. The following command will start Formbricks together with a postgreSQL database using Docker Compose:
<Col>
<CodeGroup title="Launch Docker Instance">
```bash
docker compose up -d
```
</CodeGroup>
</Col>
The `-d` flag will run the containers in detached mode, meaning they'll run in the background.
6. **Visit Formbricks in Your Browser**
After starting the Docker setup, visit http://localhost:3000 in your browser to interact with the Formbricks application. The first time you access this page, you'll be greeted by a setup wizard. Follow the prompts to define your first user and get started.
## Update
<Note>
Please take a look at our [migration guide](/self-hosting/migration-guide) for version specific steps to
update Formbricks.
</Note>
1. Pull the latest Formbricks image
<Col>
<CodeGroup title="Pull the changes into docker">
```bash
docker compose pull
```
</CodeGroup>
</Col>
2. Stop the Formbricks stack
<Col>
<CodeGroup title="Stop the docker instance">
```bash
docker compose down
```
</CodeGroup>
</Col>
3. Re-start the Formbricks stack with the updated image
<Col>
<CodeGroup title="Relaunch the Docker Instance">
```bash
docker compose up -d
```
</CodeGroup>
</Col>
## Debug
If you encounter any issues, you can check the logs of the container with:
<Col>
<CodeGroup title="Look into docker logs">
```bash
docker compose logs -f
```
</CodeGroup>
</Col>
In an ideal case, you should see something like this:
<Col>
<CodeGroup title="Docker Build Underway">
```bash
