Quick Start
Data Wizard is designed to be easy to install and deploy in various environments. This guide will walk you through the installation process and help you get started with your first data extraction task.
Get Started using Docker
Generate a random `APP_KEY`
Before running the Docker container, you need to generate a random APP_KEY
for your Data Wizard instance. This key is used for encryption and security purposes.
Run the following command to generate a random APP_KEY
:
Run the Docker Container
Option | Description |
---|---|
-p 9090:80 , -p 4430:443 , -p 4430:443/udp | Maps ports on your host machine to ports in the container for HTTP and HTTPS access. |
-v ...:... | Creates named volumes for persistent storage of application files, SQLite database, and Caddy server data and configuration. |
-e APP_KEY=[APP_KEY] | Sets the APP_KEY environment variable, essential for application security. |
Access Data Wizard
Once the container is running, open your web browser and navigate to https://localhost:4430
. You might see a
warning about an invalid HTTPS certificate because it’s a self-signed certificate for local development. You can
safely ignore this warning for local testing.
