First-install notes

  • Set a real admin password before starting If you use the Docker Compose file (a setup file that tells Docker what to run), change DEFAULT_PASSWORD from 'changeme' and keep AUTH_ENABLED=true. Without this, anyone who can reach your SnapOtter page can use it and possibly mess with your files. source
  • Keep your files in a saved Docker volume Use the Docker volume mappings for /data and /tmp/workspace, which tell Docker to save those folders outside the app. This keeps SnapOtter’s data and settings around after restarts or when the container is recreated. source
  • Open the app on port 1349 Keep the 1349:1349 line in the Docker settings so your computer’s port 1349 forwards to SnapOtter. Your browser can then open the app at your server’s address plus :1349, and if 1349 is taken you can change the left side to a free number. source

Common questions

What port should I expose for SnapOtter in Docker?

SnapOtter listens on container port 1349. Keep the host-to-container mapping as 1349:1349, or change only the host-side number if 1349 is already in use.

How do I enable authentication when using Docker Compose?

Change DEFAULT_PASSWORD from the placeholder changeme and keep AUTH_ENABLED=true. Otherwise, anyone who can reach the SnapOtter page can use it and alter files.

Where is GPU setup documented?

The docs link to a GPU and Compose setup guide and a Docker tags and GPU section.
