How to run the self hosted project?

[shooter01]

For the last few days I have been trying to run the novu project in various conditions, but have failed everywhere:

1. I could not use the npm run setup:project command
2. I could not run community dockerfiles
   The only thing I could do was run commands in custom nodejs files with a binding to the default backend domain https://api.novu.co/
   I have created several bug reports and do not yet understand the reasons for my failure.

Please tell me, is the novu project really a self hosted project or can't it be run on your own servers? What is required for this? So that there is no binding to https://api.novu.co/ and nxcloud?

Hey @shooter01

DId you try docker compose?

https://docs.novu.co/community/self-hosting-novu/deploy-with-docker

Can you post your errors with that?

@L-U-C-K-Y just tried to run the docker-compose file through the documentation you sent, and it does not work. It does launch the UI and other services, but:

1. It always gives a network error (as in the screenshot).
2. Spams different console errors (like provide NOVU_SECRET_KEY, NEW_RELIC_APP_NAME, etc.).

P.S.: Have you tried to run the docker-compose file you sent? If yes, what should be different in the setup?

@enfipy @shooter01 I just tested the entire flow on my local and it was working.
Did you run it on localhost or on a VM?

We have it running on a server.

@L-U-C-K-Y can you show installation environment ?

and can you try it in virtual machine just like regular user and follow all steps from https://docs.novu.co/community/self-hosting-novu/deploy-with-docker ?

@shooter01 I have updated the docs a bit, can you try it? Hopeit helps!
