Ductape / Self-hosted

Self-host Ductape

Run the Ductape workbench locally with a single CLI. Install via npm, start with Docker, and access your workbench at localhost.

Prerequisites

You need Node.js (for npm) and Docker installed on your machine.

Node.js 18+ with npm
Docker Engine (running)
4 GB RAM recommended

Install the Ductape CLI

Install the CLI globally via npm.

npm install -g @ductape/cli

Verify the installation:

ductape --version

Install the local workbench

This pulls the Ductape Docker images and sets up the local environment.

ductape install

Make sure Docker is running before you run this command. The first install will pull images and may take a few minutes.

Start Ductape

Start the local workbench container.

ductape start

Once running, open http://localhost:4310 in your browser to access the local workbench.
