Deploy AstrBot with Docker

WARNING

Docker provides a convenient way to deploy AstrBot on Windows, Mac, and Linux.

This tutorial assumes you have Docker installed in your environment. If not, please refer to the Docker official documentation for installation.

Deploy with Docker Compose

Deploy AstrBot Only (General Method)

First, clone the AstrBot repository to your local machine:

git clone https://github.com/AstrBotDevs/AstrBot
cd AstrBot

Then, run Compose:

sudo docker compose up -d

TIP

If your network environment is in mainland China, the above command will not pull properly. You may need to modify the compose.yml file and replace image: soulter/astrbot:latest with image: m.daocloud.io/docker.io/soulter/astrbot:latest.

Deploy with Agent Sandbox Environment

Supports native Python code execution, Shell code execution, and other features.

Deployment method:

git clone https://github.com/AstrBotDevs/AstrBot
cd AstrBot
# Modify the environment variable configuration in the compose-with-shipyard.yml file, such as Shipyard's access token, etc.
docker compose -f compose-with-shipyard.yml up -d
docker pull soulter/shipyard-ship:latest

For configuration and usage details, see the Agent Sandbox Environment documentation.

Deploy with Docker

mkdir astrbot
cd astrbot
sudo docker run -itd -p 6185:6185 -p 6199:6199 -v $PWD/data:/AstrBot/data -v /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro -v /etc/timezone:/etc/timezone:ro --name astrbot soulter/astrbot:latest

TIP

If your network environment is in mainland China, the above command will not pull properly. Please use the following command to pull the image:

sudo docker run -itd -p 6185:6185 -p 6199:6199 -v $PWD/data:/AstrBot/data -v /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro -v /etc/timezone:/etc/timezone:ro --name astrbot m.daocloud.io/docker.io/soulter/astrbot:latest

(Thanks to DaoCloud ❤️)

No need to add sudo on Windows, same below Sync Host Time on Windows (requires WSL2)

-v \\wsl.localhost\(your-wsl-os)\etc\timezone:/etc/timezone:ro
-v \\wsl.localhost\(your-wsl-os)\etc\localtime:/etc/localtime:ro

View AstrBot logs with the following command:

sudo docker logs -f astrbot

🎉 All Done

If everything goes well, you will see logs printed by AstrBot.

If there are no errors, you will see a log message similar to 🌈 Dashboard started, accessible at with several links. Open one of the links to access the AstrBot dashboard.

TIP

Since Docker isolates the network environment, you cannot use localhost to access the dashboard.

The default username and password are astrbot and astrbot.

If deployed on a cloud server, you need to open ports 6180-6200 and 11451 in the cloud provider's console.

Next, you need to deploy any messaging platform to use AstrBot on that platform.
