Lets start with the simplest, local machine setup:
## Local machine setup
Installing SilverBullet as a (local) web server is pretty straightforward, if youre comfortable with the terminal, at least.
The setup is simple: in a terminal run the silverbullet server process on your machine, then connect to it locally from your browser.
The basic setup is simple: in a terminal, run the silverbullet server process on your machine, then connect to it locally from your browser via localhost.
You have two options here:
1. Installation via [Deno](https://deno.com/) (the awesome JavaScript runtime)
2. Installation via [Docker](https://www.docker.com/) (the awesome container runtime)

### Installation via Deno
# Installing using Deno
$deno
This consists of two steps (unless Deno is already installed — in which case were down to one):

By default, SilverBullet will bind to port `3000`; to use a different port, use the `-p` flag.
For security reasons, by default, SilverBullet only allows connections via `localhost` (or `127.0.0.1`). To also allow connections from the network, pass a `-L 0.0.0.0` flag (0.0.0.0 for all connections, or insert a specific address to limit the host), ideally combined with `--user username:password` to add simple password protection.

#### Upgrading SilverBullet
## Upgrading SilverBullet
SilverBullet is regularly updated. To get the latest and greatest, simply run:
```shell
silverbullet upgrade
```
And restart SilverBullet. You should be good to go.

# Installing using Docker
$docker
There is a [docker image on docker hub](https://hub.docker.com/r/zefhemel/silverbullet). The image comes in two flavors:
* 64-bit Intel
* 64-bit ARM (e.g. for Raspberry Pis and Macs)
There is no 32-bit version of Deno, and therefore we cannot offer a 32-bit version of SilverBullet either.
There is no 32-bit version of Deno, and therefore we cannot offer a 32-bit version of SilverBullet either. Most people run 64-bit OSes these days, an exception may be Raspberry Pis. Recent (RPI 3 and later) can run 64-bit Linux as well, you may have to re-image, though.
To use the docker container, first create a volume to keep your space (markdown) files:
A few key things to note on the SilverBullet container:
* The container binds to port `3000`, so be sure to export that, e.g. via `-p 3000:3000`
* The container uses whatever is volume-mapped to `/space` as the space root folder. You can connect a docker volume, or a host folder to this, e.g. `-v /home/myuser/space:/space`
* SilverBullet runs under Linux user id (uid) `1000` and group id (gid) `1000` inside the container. Conveniently, in most Linux distros this is the UID of the first non-root user you create. However, make sure that the space folder you mount into the container is _owned by uid 1000_. You can ensure this using: `chown -R 1000:1000 /path/to/space/folder`.
To boot up the container:
```shell
docker volume create myspace
```
Then, run the container, e.g., as follows:
```shell
docker run -p 3000:3000 -v myspace:/space -d zefhemel/silverbullet
docker run -p 3000:3000 -v /path/to/space/folder:/space -d zefhemel/silverbullet
```
The `zefhemel/silverbullet` image will give you the latest released version. This is equivalent to `zefhemel/silverbullet:latest`. If you prefer, you can also pin to a specific release, e.g. `zefhemel/silverbullet:0.5.5`. If you prefer to live on the bleeding edge, you can use the `zefhemel/silverbullet:edge` image, which is updated on every commit to the `main` brain.

docker run -p 3000:3000 -v myspace:/space -d -e SB_USER=me:letmein zefhemel/silverbullet
```
To build your own version of the docker image, run `./scripts/build_docker.sh`.
## Upgrade
You can upgrade your image simply by pulling a new version of the image using `docker pull zefhemel/silverbullet`. However, it is recommended you use a tool like [watchtower](https://github.com/containrrr/watchtower) to automatically update your docker images and restart them.
To upgrade, simply pull the latest docker image and start a new container.
## Docker compose
Here is a simple `docker-compose.yml` that runs SilverBullet as well as [watchtower](https://github.com/containrrr/watchtower), which will check for new SilverBullet upgrades daily (the default) and upgrade automatically.
```shell
docker pull zefhemel/silverbullet
Instructions:
* Please replace the password defined in `SB_USER` with something sensible such as `admin:b3stp4ssword3vah`
* This volume uses the `notes` directory (that presumably exists) in the same directory as the `docker-compose.yml` file as the place where SB will keep its space. This folder is owned by UID 1000.
```yaml
services:
silverbullet:
image: zefhemel/silverbullet:edge
restart: unless-stopped
environment:
- SB_USER="admin:admin"
volumes:
- ./notes:/space
ports:
- 3000:3000
watchtower:
image: containrrr/watchtower
volumes:
- /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock
```
## Configuration
Boot this up via:
```shell
docker-compose up -d
```
And watch for logs with:
```shell
docker-compose logs -f
```
## Building the docker image
To build your own version of the docker image, run `./scripts/build_docker.sh`.
# Configuration
SilverBullet is partially configured via flags (run it with `--help`) or alternatively via environment variables and partially via a [[SETTINGS]] page in your space.
## Environment variables
# Environment variables
$env
You can configure SB with environment variables instead of flags, which is probably what you want to do in a docker setup. The following environment variables are supported:
