Appwrite

This is a repackaged open source software product wherein additional charges apply for cloudimg support services.

Overview

Appwrite is an open source backend as a service platform that gives developers a complete backend out of the box: user authentication with many login methods, a hosted database with fine grained permissions, file storage, serverless functions, messaging and realtime subscriptions, all behind a clean REST, GraphQL and Realtime API and a polished web Console. This image delivers the official Appwrite self-host Docker Compose stack fully installed and configured, so a complete backend is running within minutes of launch.

Application Stack

The complete Appwrite platform runs as a Docker Compose stack: a bundled Traefik reverse proxy that publishes the Console and the API on port 80, the Appwrite API container, the Appwrite Console web application, the realtime websocket service and the full set of Appwrite worker containers for audits, webhooks, deletes, databases, builds, certificates, functions, mails, messaging and migrations, plus the OpenRuntimes executor, MongoDB for the database and Redis for the cache, queues and pub/sub. Docker Engine and the Docker Compose plugin are installed from the official Docker package repository.

A Complete Backend

Manage users and teams, model your data in collections with attributes, indexes and per document permissions, store and serve files with image transformations, write serverless functions in many runtimes, send email, SMS and push messages and subscribe to realtime events, all from the Appwrite Console or the client and server SDKs. The auto generated REST, GraphQL and Realtime APIs let your web, mobile and server applications talk to the backend with a few lines of code.

Dedicated Storage Tier

The MongoDB database, the Redis data and all uploaded files and Appwrite storage live on a separate, independently resizable data volume, so the stateful tier can be grown without disturbing the rest of the instance.

Secure First Boot

On the first boot of your instance a one shot service rotates every secret in the stack, unique to that instance: the API encryption key, the executor secret and the database and cache passwords. It then creates a fresh Console root account with a generated password and locks Console registration to that first account. No shared or default secrets and no preexisting login ship in the image.

Ready To Use

The Appwrite Console and the API are served on port 80 through the bundled reverse proxy. Browse to the instance, sign in with the generated Console root credentials, create your first project and start building. Point the Appwrite client and server SDKs at the instance to use the database, authentication, storage, functions and realtime APIs.
