Pre-Requisites!! Just Get Docker 🐋

Important step and quite recommended for any SelfHosting Project - Get Docker Installed

It will be one command, this one, if you are in Linux:

apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && curl -fsSL https://get.docker.com -o get-docker.sh
sh get-docker.sh && docker version
echo -e "POSTGRES_PASSWORD=$(openssl rand -base64 32)\nACCESS_TOKEN_SALT=$(openssl rand -base64 32)\nJWT_SECRET_KEY=$(openssl rand -base64 32)" > .env
