Voltaserve

Cloud Storage for Creators

Watch the Demo Video

Handle massive images with mosaic technology, extract insights from documents, stream large videos, protect documents with permissions, preview 3D models. collaborate in real-time.

Getting Started

Pull images: (recommended for most users)

docker compose pull

Optionally build the images from the source: (can be skipped if you pulled the images)

docker compose build

Start containers:

docker compose up -d

Wait until the following containers are running:

• voltaserve-api
• voltaserve-idp
• voltaserve-conversion
• voltaserve-webdav
• voltaserve-language
• voltaserve-mosaic
• voltaserve-ui

Note

You can check that by running the command docker ps and look at the STATUS column.

Create an account and sign in:

1. Go to the sign up page http://localhost:3000/sign-up and create an account.

2. Open MailDev http://localhost:8025, select the received email and click the confirm email link.

3. Finally, go to the sign in page http://localhost:3000/sign-in and login with your credentials.

Note

Voltaserve supports WebDAV and by default it listens on port 8082.

Use a Mobile App

We recommend using WebDAV with Documents or Owlfiles.

Mount the Drive on Your Computer

We recommend using WebDAV with Mountainduck or Owlfiles.

Browse the Content Remotely

We recommend using WebDAV with Cyberduck, WinSCP or Rclone.

Configuration

Update the VOLTASERVE_HOSTNAME environment variable in .env file to match your hostname (it can optionally be an IP address as well):

VOLTASERVE_HOSTNAME="my-hostname"

Update the following environment variables in .env file to match your SMTP server:

VOLTASERVE_SMTP_HOST="my-smtp-hostname"
VOLTASERVE_SMTP_PORT=587
VOLTASERVE_SMTP_SECURE=true
VOLTASERVE_SMTP_USERNAME="my-smtp-user"
VOLTASERVE_SMTP_PASSWORD="my-smtp-password"
VOLTASERVE_SMTP_SENDER_ADDRESS="no-reply@my-domain"
VOLTASERVE_SMTP_SENDER_NAME="Voltaserve"

The port 3000 is used for the UI, therefore it needs to be open and accessible from the outside. One way of doing it in Linux is by using ufw:

sudo ufw allow 3000

Note

You can change the UI port to something else, other than 3000, like 80 for example. This can be done by editing the VOLTASERVE_UI_PORT environment variable in .env file as follows:

VOLTASERVE_UI_PORT=80

The port 8082 is used for WebDAV, you can change it by editing the VOLTASERVE_WEBDAV_PORT environment variable in .env file as follows:

VOLTASERVE_WEBDAV_PORT=8082

The port needs to be open and accessible from the outside. One way of doing it in Linux is by using ufw:

sudo ufw allow 8082

Other ports can be changed as well by editing their respective environment variables in .env file.

Troubleshooting

My containers have issues starting up, what should I do?

One reason might be that some ports are already allocated on your machine, in this case you can change the Voltaserve ports in .env file.

I'm not happy with localhost, can I change it?

You can achieve this by changing the VOLTASERVE_HOSTNAME environment variable in .env file.

It can be any IP address, like:

VOLTASERVE_HOSTNAME="192.168.1.100"

Or any custom hostname, like:

VOLTASERVE_HOSTNAME="my-hostname"
