Install Zulivio

Pick your system below. Every route runs the same release and keeps your data on your own machine.

Getting started

Up and running in a few minutes

No manual setup, no config files to edit. If you're not comfortable with a terminal, any IT helper can run the one command below for you.

1

Run one command

This copies the software onto your server and sets it up automatically — it checks for the one free tool it needs (Docker), generates a secure database password, then builds and starts everything for you.

$
git clone https://github.com/Raktim94/zulivio.git && cd zulivio && ./install.sh
2

Open it in a browser

Once setup finishes, open the address it prints and go to /setup. A short wizard walks you through creating your organization and its first Master Owner account.

$
# Open in a browser:
http://localhost:3100/setup
3

Add your team

Go to Employees and add your first manager or team member — Zulivio generates a unique employee number and a temporary password for them automatically.

$
# From any device on your network:
http://<your-server's-address>:3100
One org, or several: the same setup runs on a server in your office, or on a rented cloud server if you'd rather manage things remotely — either way it's the same install, the same data, the same login.

The Ubuntu / Debian package

  • Installs a systemd service that runs the version-pinned Zulivio containers with Docker Compose. It is labelled “runs in Docker” because it is not a native binary.
  • Installs Docker first if it is missing, and checks the download’s SHA-256 before installing.
  • Generates database passwords and secrets on first install into /etc/zulivio/zulivio.env (mode 0600). They survive upgrades, removal and purge.
  • Opens on http://localhost:3100.

Update by running the installer again, or sudo apt install ./zulivio_<version>_amd64.deb. Remove with sudo apt remove zulivio; settings and the Docker volumes (zulivio_pg_data and related volumes) are kept. Back up before upgrading.
