Linux is the default on-site box.

Need

• x86_64 Linux (Debian/Ubuntu Server is the well-worn path)
• Docker Engine and the Compose plugin (docker compose version)
• This machine’s LAN IPv4, reserved in DHCP

Install

curl -fsSL -O https://dutywall.com/download/dutywall-standalone.tar.gz
tar -xzf dutywall-standalone.tar.gz
cd dutywall-standalone-*
./scripts/standalone-up.sh
# first run writes .env with this host’s LAN IP: set DUTYWALL_PANEL_PASSWORD, re-run
./scripts/standalone-up.sh

Or from git: same helper from the repo root. Equivalent manual start:

cp .env.standalone.example .env   # edit BASE_URL + password + lat/lon
docker compose up -d --build

Confirm

docker compose ps
curl -sS http://127.0.0.1:8090/healthz

Panel: http://<LAN-IP>:8090/, HTTP basic login from .env.

Find the IP if you skipped the helper: hostname -I | awk '{print $1}'

Cameras

docker compose --profile camera up -d

Bookmark RTSP on the panel. Credentials stay on this host.
