 "repo_slug": "tntexploding-struinfo",
 "title": "Run a private knowledge base on your own server",
 "page_title": "How to run a private knowledge base on your own server with Stru Info",
 "summary": "Install Stru Info with Docker Compose and PostgreSQL 18 as a single-owner instance.",
 "who": "A solo researcher who wants their reading and documents kept on a machine they control, instead of a hosted notes service.",
 "problem": "Reading material is scattered across feeds, PDFs, and web pages, and there is no single private place to search and trace it.",
 "outcome": "A running single-owner Stru Info instance with its database and data directory kept separate from the app image.",
 "steps": [
  "Follow the first-install guide in docs/getting-started.md to set up the database role, configuration, and migrations.",
  "Start the app with `docker compose -f compose.production.yaml up -d app`.",
  "Check that the container is running with `docker compose -f compose.production.yaml ps`.",
  "Open Stru Info in a browser on the host port set by STRUIINFO_HTTP_PORT, keeping the port on loopback or a trusted private network."
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "In the repo tntexploding/StruInfo, follow docs/getting-started.md to deploy a single-owner instance at <host-path> using Docker Compose and PostgreSQL 18. Report the output of `docker compose -f compose.production.yaml ps` and confirm the app container is running.",
 "agents": [
  "any"
 ],
 "difficulty": "Intermediate",
 "time": "60 minutes",
 "basis": "readme",
 "caveat": "The README says the app has no multi-user login, so the port must stay on loopback or a trusted network, or be reached through an authenticated HTTPS proxy, VPN, or SSH tunnel.",
 "category": "Research",
 "tags": [
  "Research"
 ],
 "lang": "typescript",
 "requirements": [
  "A machine that runs Docker and Docker Compose",
  "PostgreSQL 18, as recommended in the README",
  "Access to the docs/getting-started.md setup guide and a host port for STRUIINFO_HTTP_PORT",
  "Optional: a DeepSeek or OpenAI API key stored in an external key file, only if you want AI features"
