Warning

If you are upgrading from Postiz old version, please make sure you update your docker compose, you can read more here: https://docs.postiz.com/installation/migration

Configuration uses environment variables

The docker containers for Postiz are entirely configured with environment variables.

• Option A - environment variables in your docker-compose.yml file
• Option B - environment variables in a postiz.env file mounted in /config for the Postiz container only
• Option C - environment variables in a .env file next to your docker-compose.yml file (not recommended).

... or a mixture of the above options!

There is a configuration reference page with a list of configuration settings.

Setup:

git clone https://github.com/gitroomhq/postiz-docker-compose

Then run:

docker compose up

Wait for it to load:

Open your website on https://localhost:4007

Coolify deployment

This fork's docker-compose.yaml is ready for Coolify. It does not publish host ports; Coolify should route traffic to the postiz service on port 5000.

Use these Coolify settings:

Service: postiz
Port: 5000
Domain: http://postiz.helloanwar.com

Add these required environment variables in Coolify before deploying:

POSTIZ_URL=https://postiz.helloanwar.com
POSTIZ_BACKEND_URL=https://postiz.helloanwar.com/api
POSTIZ_JWT_SECRET=replace-with-a-long-random-secret
POSTIZ_POSTGRES_PASSWORD=replace-with-a-strong-postgres-password
POSTIZ_DISABLE_REGISTRATION=false

Temporal uses an internal Docker-network-only PostgreSQL database with a fixed alphanumeric password in docker-compose.yaml. It is not published outside the compose network.

After creating your first account, change this and redeploy:

POSTIZ_DISABLE_REGISTRATION=true

When using a system-installed Cloudflare Tunnel, configure the public hostname to route to Coolify's HTTP proxy, not directly to the Postiz container:

postiz.helloanwar.com -> http://localhost:80

Keep the Coolify domain as http://postiz.helloanwar.com for tunnel mode so Coolify does not force HTTPS or request a Let's Encrypt certificate behind the Cloudflare Tunnel.
