• Docker

Installation

1. Clone the AutoMod repository
   git clone https://github.com/DeclanChidlow/AutoMod

2. Enter the AutoMod directory
   cd AutoMod

3. Setup configurations
   Copy the example configuration files to create the actual configuration files: cp compose.yml.example compose.yml cp .env.example .env

Updating

1. Ensure you are in the AutoMod directory
   cd AutoMod

2. Stop AutoMod
   docker compose stop

3. Pull the latest changes
   This will copy the latest changes from GitHub to your local machine. git pull

4. Build AutoMod
   docker compose build

5. Start AutoMod
   Start AutoMod with docker compose up. Assuming it runs without issues, you can stop it, and start it in the background (detached mode) with docker compose up -d.
