Single Binary

OpenPost can run as a single Go binary with the frontend embedded into the executable.

1. Download a release

Download the binary for your platform from GitHub Releases.

2. Create .env

cp backend/.env.example .env

3. Make it executable

chmod +x ./openpost

4. Run it

./openpost

By default, OpenPost listens on http://localhost:8080.

Notes

• Set OPENPOST_DB_PATH and OPENPOST_MEDIA_PATH explicitly for production.
• Put the service behind HTTPS before enabling production OAuth callbacks.
