Vane Docker setup: the short version

Minimal flow

1. Install Docker and confirm `docker --version` works.
2. Pull or build the Vane image using the official README’s Docker path.
3. Run the container, map port 3000, and mount a data volume for configuration.
4. Open http://localhost:3000 and choose your model and SearXNG in settings.

The official README’s build-from-source example:

git clone https://github.com/ItzCrazyKns/Vane.git
cd Vane
docker build -t vane .
docker run -d -p 3000:3000 -v vane-data:/home/vane/data --name vane vane

This is an example copied from the official README on 2026-10-21. Versions and flags change; read the README before running it.

Do not

• Expose port 3000 directly to the public internet; keep it local/private and add a reverse proxy and auth if needed.
• Put model keys in the image or Git; use environment variables/local config.
• Assume every VPS architecture supports the same image; check ARM compatibility first.
