How to run a team workspace on your own server with Salt

Install one binary and get docs, databases and realtime editing on your own machine.

Short answer: Run curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/saltmd/salt.md/main/install.sh | sh on the server (or wget -qO- … | sh if curl is missing); then Note the address the installer prints and open it in a browser; Alternatively, run docker run -d -p 8420:8420 -v salt-data:/data ghcr.io/saltmd/salt.md:latest if you prefer Docker. All steps.

Who it is forA team lead or sysadmin who wants shared docs and databases on infrastructure they control, without a separate database server.

The problemShared docs and databases usually live in a hosted service, and running a multi-service stack yourself is heavy.

The outcomeA running Salt instance on your server, reachable in a browser, backed by a single SQLite file and an uploads directory.

What you need first

  • A Linux, macOS or Windows machine or server to run the binary, or a machine with Docker
  • A web browser to open the address the installer prints
  • An MCP-capable client such as Claude, ChatGPT, Codex, Cursor or Gemini CLI, if you want agents to work in the workspace
  • Files to import (Markdown, CSV or a Notion export), if you are migrating content

Steps

  1. Run curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/saltmd/salt.md/main/install.sh | sh on the server (or wget -qO- … | sh if curl is missing).
  2. Note the address the installer prints and open it in a browser.
  3. Alternatively, run docker run -d -p 8420:8420 -v salt-data:/data ghcr.io/saltmd/salt.md:latest if you prefer Docker.
  4. Read the self-hosting guide at https://salt.md/wiki/self-hosting/ for reverse proxies, TLS and backups before exposing it to your team.

Prompt for your agent

Using the salt.md repo at https://github.com/saltmd/salt.md, install a self-hosted instance on <target-server> using the install.sh one-liner from the README. Report the address the installer prints and confirm that the URL responds in a browser.

Caveat. The README says TLS, reverse proxies and backups are covered in the self-hosting guide, so plan those before putting the instance on a public network.
