How to install Cherry with Docker and Docker-compose

Cherry is an open source self-hostable bookmark service. It supports full text search, powered by SQLite fts5. You can also import bookmarks from Pocket, Chrome/Firefox/Safari bookmark export and CSV files. It has a simple, and probably quite opinionated, web UI.

Requirements

• Docker
• Docker-compose

How to install?

If you haven't docker-compose, you can install it by run this command:

sudo curl -L "https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/v2.11.2/docker-compose-$(uname -s)-$(uname -m)" -o /usr/bin/docker-compose

You can find latest version of docker-compose at https://github.com/docker/compose/releases.

Add execute permission:

# Bash
sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/docker-compose

Step 1:

Create docker-compose.yml file:

version: "3"

services:
  cherry:
    image: haishanh/cherry
    restart: unless-stopped
    ports:
      - 8000:8000
    volumes:
      - ./data:/data
    environment:
      - JWT_SECRET=some-secret-string
      - ENABLE_PUBLIC_REGISTRATION=1

More environment variables, you can see at here:  https://cherry.haishan.me/docs/deploy

Now, run docker-compose up -d to start container.

Step 2:

Now open your browser and type in http://localhost:8000.

Enjoying!
