Installation

The easiest way to install CoreControl is using Docker Compose. Follow these steps:

Docker Compose Installation

1. Make sure Docker and Docker Compose are installed on your system.

2. Create a file named docker-compose.yml with the following content:

services:
  web:
    image: haedlessdev/corecontrol:latest
    ports:
      - "3000:3000"
    environment:
      JWT_SECRET: RANDOM_SECRET # Replace with a secure random string
      DATABASE_URL: "postgresql://postgres:postgres@db:5432/postgres"

  agent:
    image: haedlessdev/corecontrol-agent:latest
    environment:
      DATABASE_URL: "postgresql://postgres:postgres@db:5432/postgres"
    depends_on:
      db:
        condition: service_healthy

  db:
    image: postgres:17
    restart: always
    environment:
      POSTGRES_USER: postgres
      POSTGRES_PASSWORD: postgres
      POSTGRES_DB: postgres
    volumes:
      - postgres_data:/var/lib/postgresql/data
    healthcheck:
      test: ["CMD-SHELL", "pg_isready -U postgres"]
      interval: 2s
      timeout: 2s
      retries: 10

volumes:
  postgres_data:

3. Generate a custom JWT_SECRET with e.g. jwtsecret.com/generate
4. Start CoreControl with the following command:

docker-compose up -d
# OR
docker compose up -d

5. The application is now available at http://localhost:3000.

Authentication

CoreControl comes with a default administrator account:

• Email: admin@example.com
• Password: admin

WARNING

For security reasons, it is strongly recommended to change the default credentials immediately after your first login.

You can change the administrator password in the settings after logging in.
