• Docker ≥ 20.10 and Docker Compose ≥ 2.0

# Download install script from latest stable release
curl -L -o install.sh https://github.com/lanedirt/AliasVault/releases/latest/download/install.sh

# Make install script executable and run it. This will create the .env file, pull the Docker images, and start the AliasVault containers.
chmod +x install.sh
./install.sh install

The install script will output the URL where the app is available. By default this is:

• Client: https://localhost

Security Architecture

AliasVault takes security seriously and implements various measures to protect your data:

• All sensitive user data is encrypted end-to-end using industry-standard encryption algorithms. This includes the complete vault contents and all received emails.
• Your master password never leaves your device.
• Zero-knowledge architecture ensures the server never has access to your unencrypted data

For detailed information about our encryption implementation and security architecture, see the following documents:

• SECURITY.md
