Appwrite on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS by cloudimg

## Appwrite on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS by cloudimg

Appwrite is an open-source backend-as-a-service platform - a self-hosted Firebase alternative - that gives developers a complete backend out of the box: user authentication, a hosted database with per-document permissions, file storage, serverless functions, messaging and realtime subscriptions, all behind a clean REST, GraphQL and Realtime API and a polished web Console. This cloudimg image delivers the official Appwrite 1.9.0 self-host Docker Compose stack fully installed, with MongoDB and Redis, all data on a dedicated Azure data disk, and a fresh Console root account created on the first boot of every VM. Backed by 24/7 expert support.

Complete Backend

User authentication with many login methods, a hosted database with per-document permissions, file storage with image transformations, serverless functions, messaging and realtime subscriptions - via REST, GraphQL and Realtime APIs and the Appwrite Console.

Official Stack

The Appwrite API, the Console web app, the realtime service and the full set of worker containers behind a bundled Traefik reverse proxy, with MongoDB as the database and Redis for cache, queues and pub/sub. The Console and API are published on port 80.

Dedicated Data Disk

The MongoDB database, the Redis data and every uploaded file live on a dedicated, independently resizable Azure data disk mounted at /var/lib/appwrite, re-provisioned with every VM.

Secure First Boot

On the first boot of every VM a one-shot service rotates every secret in the stack, points the request-host allowlist at the VM public IP, and creates a fresh Console root account with a generated password, locking Console registration to that account - no shared or default secret and no preexisting login ships in the image.
