How to run a private knowledge base on your own server with Stru Info

Install Stru Info with Docker Compose and PostgreSQL 18 as a single-owner instance.

Short answer: Follow the first-install guide in docs/getting-started.md to set up the database role, configuration, and migrations; then 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. All steps.

Who it is forA solo researcher who wants their reading and documents kept on a machine they control, instead of a hosted notes service.

The problemReading material is scattered across feeds, PDFs, and web pages, and there is no single private place to search and trace it.

The outcomeA running single-owner Stru Info instance with its database and data directory kept separate from the app image.

What you need first

  • 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

Steps

  1. Follow the first-install guide in docs/getting-started.md to set up the database role, configuration, and migrations.
  2. Start the app with docker compose -f compose.production.yaml up -d app.
  3. Check that the container is running with docker compose -f compose.production.yaml ps.
  4. 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.

Prompt for your agent

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.

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.
