Docker Run

If Docker is already installed, you can start ReadyStackGo directly with docker run.

Prerequisite

Docker must already be installed and running:

# Check Docker version
docker --version

# Start Docker service (if needed)
sudo systemctl start docker

---

Installation

Start Container

docker run -d \
  --name readystackgo \
  --restart unless-stopped \
  -p 8080:8080 \
  -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \
  -v readystackgo-config:/app/config \
  -v readystackgo-data:/app/data \
  -v readystackgo-stacks:/app/stacks \
  wiesenwischer/readystackgo:latest

The named volumes are created automatically by Docker on first start – you do not need to create a directory beforehand.

Parameters Explained

Parameter	Description
-d	Run container in background
--name readystackgo	Container name
--restart unless-stopped	Auto-restart after system reboot
-p 8080:8080	Port mapping (Host:Container)
-v /var/run/docker.sock:...	Docker socket for container management
-v readystackgo-config:/app/config	Persistent configuration
-v readystackgo-data:/app/data	Database and encryption key (critical – without this volume all encrypted credentials are lost on restart)
-v readystackgo-stacks:/app/stacks	Stack definitions

---

Alternative Port

To use a different port, change the port mapping:

docker run -d \
  --name readystackgo \
  --restart unless-stopped \
  -p 3000:8080 \
  -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \
  -v readystackgo-config:/app/config \
  -v readystackgo-data:/app/data \
  -v readystackgo-stacks:/app/stacks \
  wiesenwischer/readystackgo:latest

In this example, ReadyStackGo is accessible on port 3000.
