Run Postalgic on your own server with Docker:
curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/amiantos/postalgic/main/docker-compose.yml
docker compose up -dAccess the app at http://localhost:8010
Postalgic protects the admin UI with a passkey. The first time you visit the app you'll be guided through a one-time setup wizard to register a passkey with your password manager (1Password, Apple Keychain, Bitwarden, etc.).
WebAuthn requires HTTPS — most browsers won't allow passkey ceremonies on
plain HTTP from a non-localhost address. If you're serving Postalgic over
plain HTTP from another machine, uncomment BASIC_AUTH_USERNAME /
BASIC_AUTH_PASSWORD in docker-compose.yml to fall back to HTTP basic auth.
Lost your passkey? With Postalgic stopped, delete the row from
auth_credentials in data/postalgic.db:
sqlite3 data/postalgic.db "DELETE FROM auth_credentials;"Restarting will return you to the setup wizard.
npm run install:all
npm run devThis installs dependencies for both the server and Vue client, then starts both in development mode with hot reloading.
Looking for the iOS app? It has moved to its own repository: postalgic-ios
