Install Fleio with Docker¶
Important
Docker deployment of Fleio is now the recommended method to install Fleio.
2021.05.1 was the last release to include deb and rpm system packages.
Linux distributions and versions supported by Fleio docker deployment:
Ubuntu 22.04
Ubuntu 20.04
Ubuntu 18.04
Debian 11
CentOS 8
Fleio docker installation script should work on any Linux that has bash, runs systemd and is supported by docker and docker-compose, but we’re actively testing the above distros. We recommend you use one of the supported Linux flavors.
It is recommended to install Fleio on a clean, newly deployed machine that is not running other services. This avoids
possible conflicts (e.g. the fleio
user created automatically must have UID 625 and the fleio
group GID 625).
Update all system packages before proceeding (e.g. apt update && apt upgrade
or dnf upgrade
).
You also need bash
, curl
and sudo
installed. The bash-completion
package is recommended to take
advantage of docker-compose
and fleio
commands autocompletion, but not required.
You will be asked the license ID (a 16 characters string, e.g. yupn5yilio3qiquw) and the license key (e.g. WERPWM24HV7PUADHXYBJOIL2LMJVCYYCXORA2CH0EIX===) during the installation process. You will receive the licensing details after purchasing a license. Note that for every purchased license you are also entitled to an additional license for a non-production environment (staging or development).
Install Fleio in one step¶
To install Fleio just run the following command:
curl -s -o install https://fleio.com/install && sudo bash install
Note
The install
script without any parameters installs the latest stable version.
You can specify the version number, e.g. install 2020.11.1
.
Or run install --include-beta
(only working with versions post 2021.01.0) to consider the beta versions when
determining “latest”. This still installs a stable version, if a stable version is the latest.
If a beta version is the latest, it will install it.
The script installs docker and docker-compose (if not already installed), creates the fleio
local user and group
and creates all the configuration files needed to run Fleio via docker-compose.
You can inspect the docker-compose configuration at /home/fleio/compose/docker-compose.yml
, but DO NOT edit this
file as it may be overwritten on Fleio upgrades.
You can add customizations in file /home/fleio/compose/docker-compose.override.yml
this will not be overwritten by
Fleio and it is already included when you run a fleio
command or docker-compose
command (through directive
COMPOSE_FILE=docker-compose.yml:docker-compose.override.yml
from file .env
).

Limitations of Fleio deployment with docker¶
The docker deployment of Fleio does not include reseller frontend files in the 2020.10 release. This limitation has no impact if you are not using the Fleio resellers feature.
The only supported method to customize the frontend code is be Example: Change favicon, add custom CSS and Google Analytics.
