⛺️ Tipi — A personal homeserver for everyone

Join the discussion

⚠️ Tipi is still at an early stage of development and issues are to be expected. Feel free to open an issue or pull request if you find a bug.

Tipi is a personal homeserver orchestrator. It is running docker containers under the hood and provides a simple web interface to manage them. Every service comes with an opinionated configuration in order to remove the need for manual configuration and network setup.

🛠 Installation

Installation Requirements

Ubuntu 18.04 LTS or higher is recommended. However other major Linux distribution are supported but may lead to installation issues. Please file an issue if you encounter one.

Step 1. Download Tipi

Run this in an empty directory where you want to install Tipi.

git clone https://github.com/meienberger/runtipi.git

Step 2. Run Tipi

cd into the downloaded directory and run the start script.

cd runtipi
sudo ./scripts/start.sh

The script will prompt you the ip address of the dashboard once configured. Tipi will run by default on port 80. To select another port you can run the start script with the --port argument

sudo ./scripts/start.sh --port 7000

To stop Tipi, run the stop script.

sudo ./scripts/stop.sh

Custom settings

You can change the default settings by creating a settings.json file. The file should be located in the state directory. This file will make your changes persist across restarts. Example file with all possible values:

{
  "dnsIp": "9.9.9.9", // DNS IP address
  "domain": "mydomain.com", // Domain name to link to the dashboard
  "port": 7000, // Change default http port 80
  "sslPort": 7001, // Change default ssl port 443
  "listenIp": "192.168.1.1", // Change default listen ip (advanced)
  "storagePath": "/mnt/usb", // Change default storage path of app data
}

Linking a domain to your dashboard

If you want to link a domain to your dashboard, you can do so by providing the --domain option in the start script.

sudo ./scripts/start.sh --domain mydomain.com

You can also specify it in the settings.json file as shown in the previous section.

A Let's Encrypt certificate will be generated and installed automatically. Make sure to have ports 80 and 443 open on your firewall and that your domain has an A record pointing to your server IP.
