* Update recommended PostGIS image for ARM machines (#900) PostGIS images from tobi312 are no longer available. Updated the documentation to use imresamu images as an alternative. Kept the same PostGIS release version to avoid any unexpected issues for now. * Small fix to italian text in dashboard (#896) Co-authored-by: Sean Morley <98704938+seanmorley15@users.noreply.github.com> --------- Co-authored-by: agarthand <agar@wildgimps.de> Co-authored-by: thefeltro <142627956+thefeltro@users.noreply.github.com>

Docker 🐋
Docker is the preferred way to run AdventureLog on your local machine. It is a lightweight containerization technology that allows you to run applications in isolated environments called containers.
Note
: This guide mainly focuses on installation with a Linux-based host machine, but the steps are similar for other operating systems.
Prerequisites
- Docker installed on your machine/server. You can learn how to download it here.
Getting Started
Get the docker-compose.yml and .env.example files from the AdventureLog repository. You can download them here:
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/seanmorley15/AdventureLog/main/docker-compose.yml
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/seanmorley15/AdventureLog/main/.env.example
cp .env.example .env
::: tip
If running on an ARM based machine, you will need to use a different PostGIS Image. It is recommended to use the imresamu/postgis:15-3.3-alpine3.21 image or a custom version found here. The AdventureLog containers are ARM compatible.
