This script will download all the dependencies, including docker (this can be skipped, see below) and the docker-compose.yml and install Scrypted as a service.

Use the Copy button in the snippet below to copy the entire script, and then paste the contents into Terminal to install Scrypted.

mkdir -p ~/.scrypted
curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/koush/scrypted/main/install/docker/install-scrypted-docker-compose.sh > ~/.scrypted/install-scrypted-docker-compose.sh 
sudo SERVICE_USER=$USER bash ~/.scrypted/install-scrypted-docker-compose.sh
  • There will be a prompt to install Docker and set up external storage for Scrypted NVR. Docker is required to be installed, so this provides a way to skip the automatic installation. External storage is completely optional and can be set up later.

Scrypted is now running at: https://localhost:10443/

Note that it is https and that you'll be asked to approve/ignore the website certificate.

docker-compose.yml location

The docker-compose.yml is stored at ~/.scrypted/docker-compose.yml.
