Run your own

Get started in 30 seconds. Angler is easy to run because it ships as a single container image. Pick your runtime and registry, then run:

Start your database

Angler needs PostgreSQL. Start one and point DATABASE_URL at it:

podman run -d --name angler-db \
  -p 5432:5432 \
  -e POSTGRES_USER=USER \
  -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=PASS \
  -e POSTGRES_DB=angler \
  -v angler-db:/var/lib/postgresql/data \
  docker.io/postgres:16-alpine

podman run -d --name angler \
  -p 4000:4000 \
  -e PHX_HOST=angler.you.com \
  -e SECRET_KEY_BASE=$(openssl rand -base64 48) \
  -e DATABASE_URL=ecto://USER:PASS@HOST/angler \
  ghcr.io/neiam/angler:latest

Replace the database URL, host, and generated secret with your own. The server listens on port 4000; run migrations once with podman exec angler bin/migrate.

More complex setups (Compose, Kubernetes) can be found in the repo documentation.
