Appwrite is an end-to-end backend server that is aiming to abstract the complexity of common, complex, and repetitive tasks required for building a modern app.
Appwrite provides you with a set of APIs, tools, and a management console UI to help you build your apps a lot faster and in a much more secure way. Between Appwrite different services, you can find user authentication and account management, user preferences, database and storage persistence, cloud functions, localization, image manipulation, and more.
Appwrite is both cross-platform and technology agnostic, meaning it can run on any operating system, coding language, or platform. Although Appwrite can easily fit the definition of serverless technology, it's designed to run well in multiple configurations. You can integrate Appwrite directly with your client app, use it behind your custom backend or alongside your backend server.
There are many cases where Appwrite can be used as an alternative to your custom backend server, but it doesn't purport to replace your backend engineers. It would be best if you thought of Appwrite as a tool at your disposal that you can combine into your stack any way you see fit.
Appwrite offers a lot of different services to help you get a better starting point to your projects, and we are continually adding new features and services that are all aiming to make developers' lives easier.
Appwrite was designed from the ground up with self-hosting in mind. You can install and run Appwrite on any operating system that can run a Docker CLI. Self-hosted Appwrite instances can be configured flexibly with access to the same features found on Appwrite Cloud.
Appwrite is designed to run well on both small and large deployments. The minimum requirements to run Appwrite are as little as 1 CPU core and 2GB of RAM, and an operating system that supports Docker.
Appwrite requires Docker Compose Version 2. To install Appwrite, make sure your Docker installation is updated to support Composer V2.
If you are migrating from an older version of Appwrite, you need to follow the migration instructions.
The easiest way to start running your Appwrite server is by running our Docker installer tool from your terminal. Before running the installation command, make sure you have Docker CLI installed on your host machine.
You will be prompted to configure the following during the setup command:
docker run -it --rm \
--volume /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \
--volume "$(pwd)"/appwrite:/usr/src/code/appwrite:rw \
--entrypoint="install" \
appwrite/appwrite:Hyper-V and Containers Windows features must be enabled to run Appwrite on Windows with Docker. If you don't have these features available, you can install Docker Desktop which uses Virtualbox to run Appwrite on a Virtual Machine.
docker run -it --rm ^
--volume //var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock ^
--volume "%cd%"/appwrite:/usr/src/code/appwrite:rw ^
--entrypoint="install" ^
appwrite/appwrite:docker run -it --rm `
--volume /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock `
--volume ${pwd}/appwrite:/usr/src/code/appwrite:rw `
--entrypoint="install" `
appwrite/appwrite:In addition to running Appwrite locally, you can also launch Appwrite using a pre-configured setup. This allows you to get up and running with Appwrite quickly without installing Docker on your local machine.

For advanced Docker users, the manual installation might seem more familiar. To set up Appwrite manually, download the Appwrite base docker-compose.yml and .env files, then move them inside a directory named appwrite. After the download completes, update the different environment variables as you wish in the .env file and start the Appwrite stack using the following Docker command:
docker compose up -d --remove-orphansOnce the Docker installation completes, go to your machine's hostname or IP address on your browser to access the Appwrite console. Please note that on hosts that are not Linux-native, the server might take a few minutes to start after installation completes.
You can stop your Appwrite containers by using the following command executed from the same directory as your docker-compose.yml file.
docker compose stopTo stop and remove your Appwrite containers, you can use the following command executed from the same directory as your docker-compose.yml file.
