Installation

GridFlow installs with a single command. The installer sets up Docker, downloads the bot, and starts it automatically.

Run the installer​

SSH into your server, then run:

bash <(curl -fsSL https://gridflowbot.com/install.sh)

The installer will:

  1. Install Docker and Docker Compose (if not already installed)
  2. Download the GridFlow application
  3. Generate a secure database password automatically
  4. Start the bot and database containers

The whole process takes under 2 minutes.

Verify it's running​

When the installer finishes, you'll see:

✓ GridFlow is running
✓ Dashboard: http://YOUR_SERVER_IP:8000/dashboard/

Open that URL in your browser. You should see the GridFlow login page.

Port 8000

GridFlow runs on port 8000 by default. If you have nginx configured (for a custom domain), access it via your domain instead.

Check logs (optional)​

If something doesn't look right, check the container logs:

cd /root/gridflow
docker compose logs -f backend

Press Ctrl+C to stop following logs.

What was installed​

/root/gridflow/
├── docker-compose.yml    ← container config
├── .env                  ← your configuration (keep this private)
└── gridflow              ← the application binary

The .env file holds your database password and other settings. Never share it.
