The easiest way to install CoreControl is using Docker Compose. Follow these steps:

Docker Compose Installation

  1. Make sure Docker and Docker Compose are installed on your system.

  2. Create a file named docker-compose.yml with the following content:

services:
  web:
    image: haedlessdev/corecontrol:latest
    ports:
      - "3000:3000"
    environment:
      JWT_SECRET: RANDOM_SECRET # Replace with a secure random string
      DATABASE_URL: "postgresql://postgres:postgres@db:5432/postgres"

  agent:
    image: haedlessdev/corecontrol-agent:latest
    environment:
      DATABASE_URL: "postgresql://postgres:postgres@db:5432/postgres"
    depends_on:
      db:
        condition: service_healthy

  db:
    image: postgres:17
    restart: always
    environment:
      POSTGRES_USER: postgres
      POSTGRES_PASSWORD: postgres
      POSTGRES_DB: postgres
    volumes:
      - postgres_data:/var/lib/postgresql/data
    healthcheck:
      test: ["CMD-SHELL", "pg_isready -U postgres"]
      interval: 2s
      timeout: 2s
      retries: 10

  1. Generate a custom JWT_SECRET with e.g. jwtsecret.com/generate

  2. Start CoreControl with the following command:

docker-compose up -d
# OR
docker compose up -d
  1. The application is now available at http://localhost:3000.

Authentication

CoreControl comes with a default administrator account:

  • Email: admin@example.com

  • Password: admin

::: warning For security reasons, it is strongly recommended to change the default credentials immediately after your first login. :::

You can change the administrator password in the settings after logging in.
