[06] Install

One command. Your machine. Nothing leaves it.

The first run checks your machine, creates this installation's own keys and certificates, starts everything and opens the console. It touches none of your files, and nothing is sent to us — ever.

[06.1] Before you start

Two things on your machine. That's the whole list.

01
Docker, with Compose

foxora runs as a small stack of containers — engine, database, gateways. Docker Desktop on a laptop, or the Docker engine on a server, both work.

docker --version
02
A clone of the repository

The command that works today runs from a clone. A hosted one-liner is coming once the download host is live — the page won't advertise it until it serves.

git clone …/foxora-runtime
03
Nothing else

No account, no key, no sign-in. A fresh install has zero model spend by construction: the gateway points nowhere until you configure a provider.

./foxora up

[06.2] What the first run does

Six lines, and you're in the console.

01Checks Docker and Composeand tells you plainly if either is missing.
02Generates this machine's keys and certificateswritten to ~/.foxora, never anywhere else. Every installation has its own.
03Starts the engine, the database and the gatewaysone Postgres, one process tree, all local.
04Opens the consoleat http://localhost:58080 — the board, the receipts, the settings.
05Waits for you to add a model providerconnect any OpenAI-compatible gateway or your own endpoint. You pay your provider directly; foxora meters it against each job's budget.
06Sends nothing to usthere is no telemetry to switch off, and this page makes no third-party requests either — check devtools rather than take it.

[06.3] Where it runs

Your laptop today. A platform when you're ready.

Docker · Render · Fly · Railway · DigitalOcean · your own machine. The deploy guide walks through each; the engine is the same everywhere.
