# Deploy Sourcebot

Sourcebot can be deployed in seconds using our official docker image. Visit our [docs](https://docs.sourcebot.dev/self-hosting/overview) for more information.

1. Create a config
```sh
touch config.json
echo '{
    "$schema": "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sourcebot-dev/sourcebot/main/schemas/v3/index.json",
    "connections": {
        // Comments are supported
        "starter-connection": {
            "type": "github",
            "repos": [
                "sourcebot-dev/sourcebot"
            ]
        }
    }
}' > config.json
```

2. Run the docker container
```sh
docker run \
  -p 3000:3000 \
  --pull=always \
  --rm \
  -v $(pwd):/data \
  -e CONFIG_PATH=/data/config.json \
  --name sourcebot \
  ghcr.io/sourcebot-dev/sourcebot:latest
```
<details>
<summary>What does this command do?</summary>

- Pull and run the Sourcebot docker image from [ghcr.io/sourcebot-dev/sourcebot:latest](https://github.com/sourcebot-dev/sourcebot/pkgs/container/sourcebot).
- Mount the current directory (`-v $(pwd):/data`) to allow Sourcebot to persist the `.sourcebot` cache.
- Clones sourcebot at `HEAD` into `.sourcebot/github/sourcebot-dev/sourcebot`.
- Indexes sourcebot into a .zoekt index file in `.sourcebot/index/`.
- Map port 3000 between your machine and the docker image.
