Build and run on port 3847:
export PLANDESK_AUTH_PASSWORD='choose-a-strong-password'docker compose up --buildOpen http://127.0.0.1:3847.
Securing the server
Section titled “Securing the server”Docker sets PLANDESK_HOST=0.0.0.0. For any internet-facing deployment, set PLANDESK_AUTH_PASSWORD to enable HTTP auth on the UI and REST API. Without it, the server is open — fine on a trusted LAN, not for a public host.
Data persistence
Section titled “Data persistence”Data persists in the plandesk-data Docker volume (PLANDESK_DATA_DIR=/data in the container).
Environment variables
Section titled “Environment variables”| Variable | Default | Purpose |
