Self-hosting

RestAssured is designed so that any club, or a volunteer who runs it for several clubs, can host it for free on a small server.

Coming with the first release

These pages will be completed as the application is built. The outline below shows what will be covered.

What you'll need

• A small Linux VM (1 vCPU, 1 GB RAM is enough for several clubs)
• Docker Engine or Podman with Compose
• A domain name pointing at the server (for HTTPS)
• Optional: an SMTP account from any provider, so people with an account can request their own login links

Planned sections

1. Quick start: compose.yaml with the app, PostgreSQL and Caddy (automatic HTTPS)
2. Configuration reference: every environment variable (generated from the code)
3. First Super Admin: node build/cli.js create-super-admin --email you@example.org prints a one-time login link. There are no default passwords.
4. Email (SMTP): optional; what works without it
5. Backups & restore: including re-applying GDPR erasures after a restore
6. Upgrading: migrations run automatically on start
7. Running a modified version: your obligations under the AGPL (publish your source and set RA_SOURCE_URL)
