We will update to provide new instructions in near future (Early 2026) Forem Self-Host This is a repo for setting up a free, self-managed install of Forem on a Fedora CoreOS VM running on one of a few popular cloud providers (current support for DigitalOcean, AWS, and Google Cloud). Local development is also supported using a VM on Linux via QEMU. Please note that Forem is a complex piece of software, and hosting and managing it in a cloud environment is non-trivial. While the recipes and scripts here are expected to work for the limited scenarios we tested against, use and modification of the recipes, or altering the deployed environment, may require familiarity with the following layers of the tech stack we built with, and ongoing maintenance of the deployed system may require interacting with any of these technologies: - Ansible - Your chosen cloud provider - both CLI and UI use - Python 3 and pip3 - systemd - Podman - General Linux administration, especially Fedora CoreOS, including: - Butane - Ignition If a Self-Hosted Forem is not right for you, we offer a fully-managed, enterprise solution called Forem Cloud; no technical setup required. For more information, please contact us via this form. For those that want to DIY beyond the scope of this repo, you can use the systemd units in the Butane template as an example of how to run Forem without Fedora CoreOS on a Linux distribution that supports syste","default_branch":null,"files":null,"tree":[],"storefront":"/r/forem","claimed":false,"request_supported":{"post":"https://gitbuyer.com/r/forem/selfhost/request-supported","requests":0},"note":"indexed from public GitHub; nothing is for sale on this page.
