Host Locally

Docker (recommended)

This is the quickest way to set up Frappe Drive and take it for a test drive.

The Frappe Framework is multi-tenant and supports multiple apps by default. This docker compose is just a standalone version with Frappe Drive pre-installed. Just put it behind your desired reverse-proxy if needed, and you're good to go.

If you wish to use multiple Frappe apps or need multi-tenancy. I suggest moving over to our production ready self-hosted workflow, or join us on Frappe Cloud to get first party support and hassle-free hosting.

Setup folder:

mkdir frappe-drive && cd frappe-drive

Download the required files (Docker Compose file and Frappe Bench setup script):

wget -O docker-compose.yml https://raw.githubusercontent.com/frappe/drive/main/docker/docker-compose.yml
wget -O init.sh https://raw.githubusercontent.com/frappe/drive/main/docker/init.sh

Run the container!

docker compose up -d

Using Bench

This is the bare metal way to setup Drive.

Install Bench.
Install Frappe Drive using bench get-app drive.
Create your site - bench new-site site.name...
... and install the app: bench install-app drive.
Install some Drive specific system packages:

Ubuntu/Debian (apt based distros):

sudo apt install ffmpeg libmagic

macOS:

brew install libmagic ffmpeg

Start up the bench if you haven't already - bench start.
Drive is now accessible at localhost:8000 or sitename:8000.
