💾 Install

The easiest way to get started with Fleetbase is using the Fleetbase CLI, which automates the entire Docker-based installation process. For local setup options, read the running locally quickstart in the Fleetbase documentation.

Prerequisites

• Node.js v22
• Docker and Docker Compose
• Git

Quick Install with CLI

# Install the Fleetbase CLI globally
npm install -g @fleetbase/cli
Run the interactive installer
flb install-fleetbase

Alternative Install Script

You can also use the install script directly:

git clone [email protected]:fleetbase/fleetbase.git  
cd fleetbase && ./scripts/docker-install.sh

Accessing Fleetbase

Once successfully installed and running you can then access the Fleetbase console on port 4200 and the API will be accessible from port 8000. Fleetbase Console: http://localhost:4200 Fleetbase API: http://localhost:8000

Additional Configurations

CORS: If you're installing directly on a server you will need to configure the environment variables to the application container:

CONSOLE_HOST=http://{yourhost}:4200

If you have additional applications or frontends you can use the environment variable FRONTEND_HOSTS to add a comma delimited list of additional frontend hosts.

Application Key If you get an issue about a missing application key just run:

docker compose exec application bash -c "php artisan key:generate --show"

Next copy this value to the APP_KEY environment variable in the application container and restart. Routing: Fleetbase ships with a default OSRM server hosted by router.project-osrm.org but you're able to use your own or any other OSRM compatible server. You can modify this in the console/environments directory by modifying the .env file of the environment you're deploying and setting the OSRM_HOST to the OSRM server for Fleetbase to use. Services: There are a few environment variables which need to be set for Fleetbase to function with full features. If you're deploying with docker then it's easiest to just create a docker-compose.override.yml and supply the environment variables in this file.

version: "3.8"
services:  
  application:  
    environment:  
      CONSOLE_HOST: http://localhost:4200
      MAIL_MAILER: (ses, smtp, mailgun, postmark, sendgrid)
      OSRM_HOST: https://router.project-osrm.org
      IPINFO_API_KEY:
      GOOGLE_MAPS_API_KEY:  
      GOOGLE_MAPS_LOCALE: us
      TWILIO_SID:  
      TWILIO_TOKEN:
      TWILIO_FROM:
socket:
    environment:
      # IMPORTANT: Configure WebSocket origins for security
      # Development (localhost only - include WebSocket protocols):
      SOCKETCLUSTER_OPTIONS: '{"origins":"http://localhost:,https://localhost:,ws://localhost:,wss://localhost:"}'
      # Production (replace with your actual domain):
      # SOCKETCLUSTER_OPTIONS: '{"origins":"https://yourdomain.com:,wss://yourdomain.com:"}'

WebSocket Security: The SOCKETCLUSTER_OPTIONS environment variable controls which domains can connect to the WebSocket server. Always restrict origins to your specific domains in production to prevent security vulnerabilities.

You can learn more about local installation and configuration in the official documentation.
