Setting up an installation

  • A first-run setup in the browser (since 2026.10.20). An empty installation generates its own secrets, migrates itself and answers only its setup page, behind a one-time code printed on the host. The wizard covers:

    • checks, the instance and the organization;
    • where files are kept;
    • sign-in and the first administrator;
    • mail, antivirus and demo data.

    Everything it decides becomes a setting the operator can change later from the console.

  • Images for amd64 and arm64 under one tag (since 2026.10.20).

  • An installation file (since 2026.11.0). A Docker Compose file comes with each version and needs five settings. Every version's test gate starts it exactly as it ships (since 2026.11.1).

  • Backup and restore (since 2026.11.0). Two scripts back up and restore the database, the files and the instance's own keys together.

  • Measured memory (since 2026.11.0). About 600 MiB for Quasar's containers on macOS and Linux; on Windows, a WSL2 virtual machine of about 2.1–2.6 GiB. ClamAV needs about 1 GiB more. Details in Deployment, tenancy and security.
