  2. Go to docker folder at the root of the project
  3. Copy .env.example file, paste it into the same location, and rename to .env file
  4. docker compose up -d
  5. Open http://localhost:3000
  6. You can bring the containers down by docker compose stop

Docker Image

  1. Build the image locally:

    docker build --no-cache -t flowise .
    
  2. Run image:

    docker run -d --name flowise -p 3000:3000 flowise

👨‍💻 Developers

Flowise has 3 different modules in a single mono repository.

  • server: Node backend to serve API logics
  • ui: React frontend
  • components: Third-party nodes integrations
  • api-documentation: Auto-generated swagger-ui API docs from express

Prerequisite

  • Install PNPM
    npm i -g pnpm
    

Setup

  1. Clone the repository:

    git clone https://github.com/FlowiseAI/Flowise.git
    
  2. Go into repository folder:

    cd Flowise
    
  3. Install all dependencies of all modules:

    pnpm install
    
  4. Build all the code:

    pnpm build
    
    Exit code 134 (JavaScript heap out of memory) If you get this error when running the above `build` script, try increasing the Node.js heap size and run the script again:
    # macOS / Linux / Git Bash
    export NODE_OPTIONS="--max-old-space-size=4096"
    
    # Windows PowerShell
    $env:NODE_OPTIONS="--max-old-space-size=4096"
    
    # Windows CMD
    set NODE_OPTIONS=--max-old-space-size=4096
    

    Then run:

    pnpm build
    
  5. Start the app:

    pnpm start
    

    You can now access the app on http://localhost:3000

  6. For development build:

    • Create .env file and specify the VITE_PORT (refer to .env.example) in packages/ui

    • Create .env file and specify the PORT (refer to .env.example) in packages/server

    • Run:

      pnpm dev
      

    Any code changes will reload the app automatically on http://localhost:8080
