Manual Setup

Complete control over your OpenScan.AI explorer deployment with a step-by-step Docker setup.

This path takes you from a bare server to a running, verified explorer. Follow the steps in order — each builds on the previous one.


Setup Steps

1. Server Preparation

Provision an Ubuntu server: system updates, Docker, firewall, and storage layout — see the server preparation page in this section.

2. Explorer Installation (Preparation)

Configuration files, environment variables, secrets, and DNS — everything ready before install.

3. Explorer Installation (Install)

Pull images, initialize the database, and start the stack.

4. Persistent Storage & Backups

Durable volumes for the database and a backup strategy that actually restores.
