One command installs Docker (if needed) and starts FDM Foreman. Works on Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, and Arch Linux.
curl -sSL https://fdmforeman.com/install.sh | bash
The installer will auto-detect your OS, install Docker if missing, pull the FDM Foreman image, and open your browser when ready.
Update to the latest version:
bash <(curl -sSL https://fdmforeman.com/install.sh) update
Manual docker-compose:
curl -sSL https://fdmforeman.com/docker-compose.yml -o docker-compose.yml docker compose up -d
Tested on Raspberry Pi 4 & 5 (64-bit OS, 2 GB+ RAM recommended). The installer handles Docker automatically.
curl -sSL https://fdmforeman.com/install.sh | bash
On a completely fresh Raspberry Pi OS install you can also run Docker first manually:
curl -fsSL https://get.docker.com | sh sudo usermod -aG docker $USER newgrp docker
Then run the FDM Foreman installer above. Access it at http://<pi-ip>:4000 from any device on your local network.
Mac or Windows? Self-Hosted is designed for Linux servers and Raspberry Pi. If you're on Mac or Windows, the cloud subscription is a better fit — no setup required, starts from £9.99/month.
