Docker installation

The public repository currently documents this Docker launch example:

docker run -d --name dory \
  -p 3000:3000 \
  -e DS_SECRET_KEY="$(openssl rand -base64 32 | tr -d '\n')" \
  -e BETTER_AUTH_SECRET="$(openssl rand -hex 32)" \
  -e BETTER_AUTH_URL="http://localhost:3000" \
  -e DORY_AI_PROVIDER=openai \
  -e DORY_AI_MODEL=gpt-4o-mini \
  -e DORY_AI_API_KEY=your_api_key_here \
  -e DORY_AI_URL=https://api.openai.com/v1 \
  dorylab/dory:latest

Minimum configuration notes

• DS_SECRET_KEY and BETTER_AUTH_SECRET should be unique per deployment.
• BETTER_AUTH_URL should match the public URL you use to access Dory.
• The AI-related environment variables are required if you want Dory's AI features to work.
• For more deployment guidance, continue to Docker and Self-Hosting.
