Flame Dashboard

Goal §

Install the Flame dashboard on my home-server, and config it to my liking.

---

Docker §

This is like setting up virtual envs for python? Docker has containers that I can run apps on top, which contains all the requisites, dependencies and all those stuff in one singular package, so when sharing, everything gets shared.

sudo apt update

Updating the terminal first. Uninstall all the previous versions of docker.

sudo apt remove docker docker-engine docker.io containerd runc

Install docker.io.

sudo apt install docker.io docker-compose-v2

Check the version of Docker installed.

docker --version
docker compose version

Create a docker user and add it to the group.

sudo usermod -aG docker $USER
newgrp docker

---

Flame in Docker! §

mkdir -p ~/docker/flame
cd ~/docker/flame

Create a docker compose file.

nano compose.yml

with this content inside.

services:
  flame:
    image: pawelmalak/flame
    container_name: flame
    volumes:
      - ./data:/app/data
    ports:
      - 5005:5005
    restart: unless-stopped

---

Flame first flight! §

Boot flame.

docker compose up -d

This will take time, as this will pull the flame dependencies and files from some serve(?).

Try this to see if everything went smoothly.

docker ps

Your Flame dashboard is on! Go to

http://<your_ip>:5005/

and go to settings, then change your password. The default password is

flame_password

Voila! Installed docker and Flame! Now add the applications and enjoy the dashboard.

---

Useful commands §

Power down Flame.

docker compose down

Start it again:

docker compose up -d

View logs:

docker compose logs -f

Update flame:

docker compose pull
docker compose up -d

Done!
